indeed it was mentioned in the article linked to in the first post . In that article s comments someone made a very valid point - if theres a customs post /inland border / immigration post (whatever you want to call it )the staff , drivers etc will need places to park and somewhere to eat . Would the smart thing not have been to extend the truck stop and build the customs post beside it ?
