Well all the border isn't "watched" and that's hard for the US Border Patrol to do anyway with only 576 personnel stretched between St. Andrew's at the NB border crossing and 3,500 miles away on the West coast. I suppose we are to assume that that tunnel is the ONLY ONE in 3,500 miles? Hummmmmm.

Maggie ......."there's not much need for them across the prairies" eh? That same thought allowed Carl Bronfman to smuggle booze across the US/Can border south of Brandon, MB during the 30's to sell to Mr. Capone et al for years. That money earned also established his liquor empire. Those trails and a whole lot more still exist and can be travelled to this day. I believe I'd have a tendency to build a tunnel where many thought as you and there's a ton of places for that across the prairies besides doing it where they did. God, that area of the Lower Mainland and the Niagara region has to be the most-watched parts of the border anywhere along it. To me, someone "had a brain cramp". My grandfather's property in southern Manitoba was and still is a barbed wire fence and THAT's the Can/US border. To this day, people just step across that line and go hunting with their buddies from both sides of the border. It's all considered a joke in the area and has been for over 90 years....on both sides. The only motion-detectors around that area are some farm dogs that bark at all strangers near the house. :D

Maggie ------no, I'd do the same as you I'm afraid cause my back hurts on a good day, but if I did that or dug that tunnel, there's a ton of sparse area that abounds without picking some neighbourhood next to a noted international point for smuggling drugs and people. :D
