Putting the ethics/legality of these checkpoints aside, I'm curious, am I the only person posting in this thread who has actually TRAVELLED through one of these DHS/BP checkpoints?

And I haven't just travelled through it once or twice. I drove over to Las Cruces 3 times per week both Fall and Spring semesters (well, averaged about 2.5 times as work sometimes prevented me from going over there) and multiple weekends with my Fiancee. I have to pass through the checkpoint right next to White Sands National Monument coming home from Las Cruces.

Also, at least 5 times heading home from the airport in El Paso. If I had to make up a number, I would say I have gone through them at least 75 times.
