    It is difficult now to be 100% sure that the border guards are not in cahoots with the drug trade, which some have been arrested for.. placing ordinary citizens who are not trained to do it would lower that percentage to about 10%..and possibly/probably more of a chance they would 'bargain' with the very people we are trying to stop.
