Here is a prediction concerning item #1. Due to 'security concerns', Check point Charlie will be set up at each and every State border crossing. Similar to a semi truck weigh in station, ALL cars and trucks will be required to pull over for a 'security check'. There, your vehicle will be systematically dismantled in an effort to locate contraband or other 'dangerous' substances.

You and your fellow travelers will be subjected to a back scatter Xray machine and should you refuse, a full 'pat down' will be performed.

After you and your family have completed a back scatter xray or 'pat down' you will be herded into an interrogation room where you will be questioned for hours on end as to the nature of your trip. While being questioned, a very bright light will be shined in your face and should the interrogators feel you are lying, you will be injected with truth serum. You will be asked for a list of references who are willing to vouch for your statements concerning your reasons for travel. Should one or more of your references not check out, you will be arrested for "Lying to Investigators".

IF you are able to pass 'Check Point Charlie', you MAY be allowed to reassemble your vehicle and continue on your road trip. No tools or mechanical help will be provided to help you reinstall the engine, seats, tires, etc. However, if you are able to reassemble your vehicle, you will be allowed to continue your travel. Thanks for visiting 'Check Point Charlie'...have a nice trip!!!
