We will be driving from California through Oregon, Washington and Idaho the end of next month and report back.
You are certainly welcome to report back but I can assure you there are checkpoints between Oregon and California and have been my entire life no matter what the idiot I have blocked is saying and no matter how she is twisting it. If you are driving into California from Oregon I guarantee you you will be stopped at a checkpoint no matter what type of vehicle you are driving. I cannot believe that she is even arguing that that's like arguing over if a=b and b=c than a=c. Or arguing over whether Trump is an idiot and that his supporters will lie and twist and make up their own facts to prove their point and no arguing with them is ever going to change them. And how I wish the block feature on here worked 100% even when they are being quoted.

Just an update if anyone's interested. The only checkpoint was the agricultural one and it was closed when we went through from Oregon to California.

Just as an FYI, I have global entry. I usually fly into Dulles or Seatac, and normally the entry process is that I walk to the biometric scanner, get a picture taken, have the machine tell me I am good to go, and walk out without interacting with a person. This month, I flew into JFK; I’ve used that airport a zillion times but never for inbound international travel, so I don’t know if JFK just operates differently. But, one, after the scanner, I had to then talk to an agent who double-checked my name and photo (he sent a few people ahead of me back to the photo scanners when he didn’t like their photos, even though the machines had cleared them), and two, after passing him, I encountered agents who were pulling people aside to look in their bags. Again, maybe that is standard for JFK, but it was new to me for global entry. We have global entry and always have to stop briefly at a desk to have a guard double check our passports when we return home at IAH. Never had them look in my bag, though. |

I’d love to know what everybody has on their phones that they feel the need to remove photos, or get burner phones, etc.
