Border patrol seizes senior meds

Dear True,

Have you been wondering what those 50 Border Patrol guards will be doing besides driving and snowmobiling along the Canadian border while searching for fearsome, lurking terrorists?
And besides tuning in on your cars via Global Positioning Systems installed by automakers, or monitoring your BlackBerry and cell phones via satellite and land-based listening posts (read: new high-tech station in Grand Marais)?
Well, perhaps you haven't been wondering about that last one, since few people realize it is going on. I recommend "Hidden Depths to US Monitoring" in yesterday's Los Angeles Times for the hottest poop scoop.
Here's another little item in the job description of our 50 highest quality additions to the Grand Marais community:
they are now seizing Granny's meds which she has been illegally getting from Canada. Shame on her. (Reference: "Where's My Medication? Crackdown on Rx drugs from Canada frustrates U.S. consumers, AARP Bulletin, September 2006)
