Yesterday marked the end of the 7th annual Phoenix Border Security Expo, and we should all feel much, uh, safer knowing that the 180 companies attending have devoted so much time and resources to keeping our border safe from low-grade pot and immigrants.
The companies set up individual booths like lemonade stands at the Phoenix Convention Center to peddle their ideas and products.
