From what I've been told and
understand, with modern technology
when processing suspects they
now use a palm scanner like
what the Texas D.P.S. used the
last time I renewed my driver's
license, then a fraction of a
second for a digital photograph
and to a holding cell. That
part takes minutes.
That's from a sheriff's deputy
and T.D.C.J. C.O.'s that I know.
Don't know any B.P. agents.
They can process people as
fast as they want to, or leave
all that caca to the office types.
I can say that sitting a border
jumper down at a desk and
interviewing them one at
a time is a bureaucratic waste.
They're not going to tell you
anything truthful no matter
how nicey nice you are to them.
Lock em down. Office types
run print scans through AFIS
and look for a photo match.
Database hits are culled and
transfed to a different holding
area, the rest of the chickens
are herded into buses for a
short ride to a long bridge
That's how I'd handle it, but
dadgum it, they forgot to ask me
