Does anybody remember the check points.The traffic ahead slowing down.Road coned off.
.At both sides of the road would be a tank or armoured personel carrier.About 50 Police.Police dogs and a chain to spike the tyres for the runner.Some Pokice wore baraclavas.Some check points would be in a remote back road.Most of this was due to the ETA attacks.They blew up some tourist resorts.
On approaching the control you would have a few men pointing machine guns at you.Vehicles were also searched.

I encountered one of them in Barcelona, I was following my taxi to a drop right in the center and I was a bit worried at first, not the kind of thing I’d seen before.

They stopped my taxi and waved me through, I told the bloke waving me through that I was following the cab and he kept waving me on, so I repeated that I was following the cab in my best Spanglish and it turned out that was the day I learned to say ■■■■ off before I kick your head in you English pig in Spanish :laughing:

I have been through an FBI checkpoint though at the Agricultural Inspection in California on I-15, no tanks, but lots of guns :open_mouth:
