Great, if you have Internet access. But in Mexico a lot of airports do
not even have phones, let alone Internet access. What, does DHS think
that if it commands people to register over the Internet, that all the
necessary equipment will just suddenly appear in a flash of pink smoke?


I understand what you are saying, and am not disagreeing, but you are
urinating into the wind.

FWIW, the Pt 135 people were mandated to use the EAPIS system before
it was operational-so evidently they were counting on "a flash of pink
smoke".

Call around to a couple of smaller Pt 135 operations and ask them what
it takes to haul a box of freight into the US...I think you will find
that most of them tried to "comply" and gave up. Strange thing is a
bunch of auto parts seem to be made in either Mexico or Canada these
days.
