Homeland Security officers who check incoming travelers at the region's international bridges claim that long hours and forced overtime are causing some officers to be mentally exhausted and are jeopardizing the nation's security.

The article goes on to discuss how border agents have to work for eight hour shifts without bathroom breaks and have to piss in bottles.

In an April 2002 interview, Wilson told The Buffalo News that some officers were working 16-hour shifts, but at that time, he said an anticipated increase in staff would address that problem.

Already, they view organized labor as a greater threat than an Islamic terrorists state. Flashback: remember it wasn't long ago that the current U.S. regime was going to outsource the port control to a terrorists state.
