Your tax dollars at work: Border guards hold up traffic to check out Challenger

If any of you were stuck in traffic trying to get through the Detroit Windsor tunnel late last week, we may now know why. There was no major international incident or terrorist crackdown happening. Apparently, Chrysler Canada CEO Reid Bigland grabbed a fresh-off-the-line Dodge Challenger SRT8 and headed over to Detroit from his office in Windsor, Ontario. Agents of the Customs and Border Protection Service decided they wanted to check out Chrysler's new muscle car. Several agents spent time going over the new Challenger and asking questions about it rather than processing travelers through the downtown Detroit border crossing point. Traffic quickly got backed up and according to Bigland there was about an hour delay by the time the agents let him proceed. Oh, and they never even asked for Bigland's ID.
Powerful allure!

If I was a border guard, I would be checking for the drugs (aka engine) underneath the hood.:D

Imagine the relief of the pot dealer 3 cars back that was hurried through with 10 kelos in an attempt to catch up with the traffic

Well at least they have a better excuse than taking an hour long smoke break every other hour like the one person I worked with last summer.
