...System (VACIS), which bombards truck containers with gamma rays to produce an incredibly detailed image of what's inside. The VACIS, which takes 45 seconds to scan one trailer, is ideal for finding hidden compartments and has helped Anderson's team find everything from drug stashes to smuggled coconut milk. Overall, seizures on the bridge have escalated sharply since September. The take includes 550 lbs. of primo marijuana, more than 5,000 ecstasy tablets and 13 million tablets of pseudoephedrine, which is used to make methamphetamine--but so far, no terrorists or terror weapons...

On my most recent visit, a lone Chinese woman came into the shop and ordered a slice of Black Forest cake, tiramisu and a glass of cold milk. Moments later she was forking her way through her plate of dessert with obvious pleasure. Back when I was a student, a feast like that would have had me weeping...
