#1 a piano wire strung at 4' off the ground will stop this surge of bikers....excuses suck. Just say you're assisting the Talibs. We know it, you know it, they know it

#3 "Overwhelmed border guards try to search for explosives or weapons, a fruitless task."

LOL! Oh yes! They try, really, really, really hard, but its such an overwhelming task. How about completely shutting down the crossing? Nope. Can't do so without receiving permission from the ISI ... and the pro-Deobandi, pro-Wahhabi, pro-Taliban Paki Intels ain't gonna do that.

#5 Can't shut the border. You saw the trade figures? That is probably quintupling the Afghan GDP. They desperately need that money to rebuild their country.

#6 They can, howver, ban motorbike crossings. Trucks carrying goods? Sure. Busses? Yep. Cars? Well, okay. Donkey carts? No probs.

Motorbikes? Nope, sorry, can't do that, you know the import tax on motorbikes these days, Mahmoud? Better turn around ...

#7 I'd be guessing but 3 tanks jostling for space in the other direction might just put a stop to this march of motorized lemmings.
