I imagine “terrorists” the world over to be sitting back in their easy chairs, laughing their asses off as they feast on news like this:
An ambulance carrying a heart attack victim, twice defibrillated was stopped by overzealous customs agents, going so far as to open the ambulance and asking him to identify himself. “Sure, let me take this oxygen mask off, and thank God you’re here! Could you tell these pesky paramedics to quit poking me with those paddles? They hurt!”
Said the man’s girlfriend “”I’m irate. I can’t figure it out. He could have died, and I would have blamed that person for murder.”
There is a well-established protocol allowing emergency vehicles to cross the border with a police escort. This was completely ignored by the agents, risking a man’s life in the process.
The terrorists don’t have to do a damn thing anymore! They’ve got us so terrified that we’re killing ourselves to protect ourselves.
Drug dealers have been sneaking things into the U.S. without the use of an ambulance for generations. Why would a terrorist need to use one? It’s ridiculous beyond comprehension.
