I will be travelling on friday back from Ohio and going through PA, anybody know of checkpoints in NJ in their area?

Is "fireworks" some kind of code word for "illegal immigrants from Mexico"?

I am so behind on my jargon these days!

I have never heard of such a thing........sounds unamerican.

They have fireWOOD checkpoints at many Ohio border crossings around the summer holidays, to stop the spread of the emerald ash borer. But I'm not aware of any fireworks checks going on.

I hear it's kinda tough to sneak Viagra through a Florida airport these days. Word to the wise.

I can't think of anything more symbolic of modern America than the ubiqitous checkpoint. In our town, every Friday night there are several by the city, county, and state police. It's been this way for decades now.

They run them for two reasons, ostensibly. The obvious alcohol and now seat belts laws. Of course, the real reason is to get everyone used to the idea of restricted travel. At least we don't have to take our shoes off at the checkpoints - yet!!

Like many important aspects of our society today, it flies in the face of the original spirit of America.

Don't know anything about any checkpoints but I do know a great place to buy fireworks in PA but you have to have an out of state license to buy them. I know, sounds stupid but hey at least we don't have a smoking ban in this state. And these are the good ones too.

I think we need checkpoints outside Congress and the Senate. Any time they do something stupid, it's off to jail...or Gitmo. Better set one up outside the Whitehouse, too.

Pacman,

We could publish the lawbreakers names and crimes in a ledger and distribute it so people will know when the government is up to no good. How 'bout call it the Washington Ledger or Post or Times or something like that...

Nah! - Never work 😛

pacman...

We would have to get a whole new government if they did that.

whoops...by means of them all being stupid.

I wonder if it illegal to drive with no pants on.

Imagine getting caught with illegal fireworks, viagra, and aliens simultaneously.

.....or just totally nude.

If you were travelling cross-country on viagra in a car full of aliens, no way you'd not end up that way eventually.

I bought a large selection of fireworks in the Florida Keys this past weekend. As I headed back north to the mainland, I saw a police blockade ahead. I could not believe it, but this was a fireworks checkpoint. As I did not want trouble with the law, I did the only thng I could think to do. I jammed them all up my ass. Now, I'm pooping #1 Lucky Lotus Flowers and farting Roman Candle bursts. Happy 4th.

Allbidness...I think we do already publish that...it's called The Congressional Record.

Sarcasm is the most misunderestimated humor!

The suburb of Del Mar (actually an incorporated city) in San Diego County has checkpoints to keep everyone out on the 4th of July, except for residents of Del Mar. It's friggin' ridiculous. SDPD should set up checkpoints right next to the Del Mar PD check points and keep everyone from Del Mar from coming into the rest of San Diego on the 4th. It's only fair...
