Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, sorry if it isn't.
I live in Canada (just to prevent any confusion). A few months ago a teenage girl from a small city near where I live had a disagreement with her parents and decided to run away. She found a stopped CN train, jumped on the "porch" of a hopper and fell asleep (I don't know if she considered that the train might actually be going somewhere or just saw it as a convenient place to sleep). When she woke up the train was moving and she eventually ended up in Duluth. The local police sent her to NYC where she was turned over to Canadian officials and eventually reunited with her parents. My question is: How is it in post 9/11 world that someone can hop on a freight train and cross the border?. I was under the impression that trains where x-rayed at the border. Am I wrong?
