Why does everybody make that assumption? You closed minded, government lackeys must all be programed with the exact same BS.
Marfa Sector – Border Patrol agents seized 2 pounds of marijuana valued at $1,648, a 1991 Ford van, three unloaded handguns, and arrested two USCs at the traffic checkpoint near Sierra Blanca, Texas. The subjects presented themselves for inspection and a search revealed the weapons and marijuana in the vehicle. Records checks on one subject revealed an extensive criminal history including convictions for falsifying checks, burglary, forgery with intent to defraud and resisting arrest.
Rio Grande Valley Sector – Border Patrol agents seized 32.40 pounds of Mexican Brown heroin valued at $2,592,000, 1.06 pounds of methamphetamine valued at $25,440, a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo, and arrested a USC at the traffic checkpoint near Falfurrias, Texas. The subject presented herself for inspection and a Border Patrol canine alerted to the vehicle. A subsequent search revealed the narcotics hidden in the dashboard
Laredo Sector – Border Patrol agents seized 1,279 pounds of marijuana valued at $1,018,560, a 2000 International tractor-trailer, and arrested a USC at the traffic checkpoint near Laredo, Texas. The subject presented himself for inspection and a Border Patrol canine alerted to the trailer. A search revealed 77 bundles of marijuana within the cargo.
The act of presenting oneself in a court and thereby submitting to the court's jurisdiction, but only for a specific purpose and not for all the purposes for which a lawsuit is brought. A party makes a special appearance before a state court for the sole purpose of objecting to the court's jurisdiction over that party. If the party makes a general appearance to respond to the lawsuit, instead of a special appearance, then Common Law dictates that the party thereby waives any objection to the court's jurisdiction over her. A party may object to the court's jurisdiction for a number of reasons, such as when Service of Process was insufficient or defective, there is a variance between the complaint and the summons, or the lawsuit was brought in the wrong court. When a party wants to make a jurisdictional objection, she has the right to appear for the special purpose of making that objection, but according to common law, the party must clearly and specifically state to the court that she is specially appearing. Rule 12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure has abolished the distinction between general and special appearances for federal courts. Therefore, parties can raise a jurisdictional objection along with other defenses in a responsive pleading in federal court. However, if a party wishes to make the jurisdictional objection initially without having to prepare a full responsive Pleading, the federal courts will permit that party to do so if he specially appears. Some states have followed the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and have eliminated for state court matters the distinction between general and special appearances. Many states still acknowledge the distinction, however, and some specifically provide for the distinction by statute.

Doesn't the wording imply that the search is consented even though they are forced to stop?
I believe the NWO has been the plan since the beginning of this country.

Yet you don't see this increased jurisdiction as the ability to stop, detain, and question American citizens. All under the guise of saving us from illegal immigration. There are more effective solutions to the illegal immigration problem.

Apparently annee welcomes the NWO, if she is aware of the plan, yet still supports their actions (as opposed to agreeing with a yucky, criminal drug user ). It's all in the plan, just go with it guys. It'll be okay....

Tucson, Ariz. - The operational success of the Tucson sector’s traffic checkpoints is augmented by the use of U.S. Border Patrol canines that have the ability to detect what agents cannot see.
Agents from the Border Patrol’s Nogales Station working the immigration checkpoint on Interstate 19 referred a 1991 Chevrolet pick-up truck out of the primary lane of inspection to secondary for further examination. When agents approached the vehicle the driver sped away. The vehicle was later found abandoned near kilometer post 46 on the Interstate 19 median.
A subsequent alert by a Border Patrol canine and a search of the vehicle revealed a hidden compartment containing approximately 226 pounds of marijuana with an estimated value of $180,800.00.
Tucson Sector agents continue to interdict narcotics and stop illegal activity supported by checkpoints, proving the effectiveness of the Border Patrol’s “Defense in Depth Strategy”. In Fiscal Year 2008, Tucson Sector agents seized more than 51,000 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $40 million, 264 pounds of coc aine worth an estimated $8 million and 64 ounces of heroin worth an estimated $320,000. These seizures occurred at the operational checkpoints within Tucson Sector.

No, it's NOT a different subject. Holy crap, you believe the government is staging this war on drugs, but YOU STILL BELIEVE otherwise law abiding citizens should be searched without probable cause by these GOVERNMENT CRIMINALS solely so they can get MORE MONEY to keep the violence cycle going??? I'm at a loss...
