SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? The Bush administration can go ahead with a pilot program to allow as many as 100 Mexican trucking companies to freely haul their cargo anywhere within the U.S. for the next year, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request made by the Teamsters union, the Sierra Club and the nonprofit Public Citizen to halt the program.

The appeals court ruled the groups have not satisfied the legal requirements to immediately stop what the government is calling a "demonstration project," but can continue to argue their case.

The trucking program is scheduled to begin Thursday.

Three cheers for the further erosion of border security. Goddamn this country is going to hell in a handbasket.

So much for homeland security.

At least they can stop real threats like you and me flying with too much toothpaste or hand gel. Think of the damage we could do with that while 100s of unchecked trucks pour across the boarder every day.

I hate to say it, but we need another 9-11 or two to smack some sense into the idiots running the US government. Of course that would mean losing more freedoms, but that is going to happen regardless.
