Lines: 14 Most places probably don't have this problem, but here roadblocks are routinely put on roads to cover two situations: On Interstate 5 down somewhere around San Clemente the immigration service sets them up to make sure no one is sneaking (?) illegals up to Los Angeles and points beyond. The other place is on most roads entering the state there are agricultural inspections stations to make sure that no one tries to drive into the state with some apples, or some such nonsense. Back in med-fly days they also had them set up at the quaranteen boundaries to make sure no one tried to get out with any apples (read apples == most any kind of fruit). -- Ken Shoemaker, Intel, Santa Clara, Ca. {pur-ee,hplabs,amd,scgvaxd,dual,idi,omsvax}!intelca!kds ---the above views are personal.
