I went up to VT yesterday and on my back down south on I91 between exit 10 & 9 (mid-state), there was a Border Patrol checkpoint slowing cars to a halt, both southbound lanes. I was going thru at 5:00p.m., so at that time they were picking up all of there signs, cones and such, but when I had made the trip earlier this year to VT they were doing the same thing? They stopped me, and asked how I was doing. They had several patrol SUVs, an operations box truck, and a water truck, there were at least 8 officers. Any idea what they are looking for? Seems awfully far south to be setting up a roadblock. Do they do this in others locations throughout VT, or perhaps ME or NY?

 

Thats strange, perhaps there was some terrorist activity. I'm pretty sure they dont do that here in MA. I drove to Canada 2 weeks ago and I was only stopped at the Canadian border by customs.

 

I've heard about this too. My father goes up to vermont on a regular basis and he says the roadblock has been going on for the last 3-4 months. I guess the mentality is that there are only a few ways down from canada, so instead of trying to catch people right @ the border, they set up further south because everyone has to come down the same way. I guess it's easier than trying to patrol the whle border.
