The most absurd thing is that people and goods can cross national
borders in Europe without having to submit to ridiculous
customs/immigration checks even though those countries were at war with
each other 60 years ago. Countries with different languages and
histories. And yet back here in North America, we have a bitterly
defended border between US and Canada (defended far more vigorously and
seriously on the US side), with every mile, every foot under video
surveilance, every person's papers checked, every letter or package
bogged down by customs proceedures AND EXPENSES.


The difference is most of those countries are in the EU.

Can you tell us what year the US government temporarily changed a US
border before 9/11, what state, what county and what the economic
impact it had?

This is a test for you.
