FWIW, these checkpoints aren't stopping regular motorists. They are at highway weigh stations. Only commercial vehicles are stopping here, and they'd be stopping anyway. I think this is more a theater move than anything, trying to get TSA on the news and seen "doing something" more than ACTUALY doing anything.
