Interesting side note though. When we came back to the border from Washington, it was a late night on a Saturday and there were so many vehicles going thru. It was over an hour delay getting though because of volume. In this environment there easily could have been some contraband entering the country with little or no question.

I have seen some stats where Customs only catches about 5% of all contraband entering the country. There just isnt enough officers to search the vehicles without bringing the borders to a complete standstill. Most of the contraband comes in on Commercial vehciles.
