The one thing I have always wondered since that visit is if he had problems with the US officials because this was after 9/11 and they had installed the metal detectors.

Asking for a friend who will be traveling to Zona Norte with me next month. I've been several times, but his first. He is a retired cop, but still maintains a "commission" and badge. Is there any advantage or disadvantage for him to carry his badge with him? I don't think he plans to flash it around, but he thinks it might be helpful if there are any encounters with the local law enforcement.

Posts: 25I never said the AMPS were legal, just open for business. Get on some of the USA Escort forum sites and you will see what I'm talking about. Are you at risk of getting busted? There's always that chance. Are you at risk of getting assaulted or killed in Tijuana? Also a possibility. There is nothing in life that is a certaintity, but death and taxes. I pay my taxes and death awaits me. In the mean time, I intend to life!
FYI, my knowledge of the AMPS is not just reading about them on sex forums!

I would be surprised if the planes empty going back since lots of business men are looking to do more business with Mexico. Also it's still easy for legit tourists to visit the US since the US has decreased the number of flights from China. Also the flight that's supposed to start in April will go from China to CDMX. But when leaving will stop in Tijuana but they didn't specify for how long. Something about the high altitude of CDMX not allowing the plane full to make it directly to China. So it has to stop in Tijuana and I think get full of fuel to make the long return.
I think the flights starting in June will be directly to and from Tijuana but it was supposed to start last year but keeps getting delayed.

They even threatened to close PedWest down again if it couldn't be secured. They are also having problems with more migrants crossing in the eastern part of the city closer to Tecate.

Better to just leave, Mexico & overseas if it's in the cards for you.

I'd say the chance that you meet non US residents in the zona is very rare. I used to see Chinese tourists that flew directly from China to Tijuana but those are long gone since the pandemic. Most mongers specially those who frequent that place are US residents.

That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not a lot. Today there is a ton of money, much of it provided by the fabricas. There are Lincoln and BMW dealerships. Even the taxis, for the most part, aren't the jalopies of years ago. After the seriously dark days around 2008, Tijuana has reinvented itself. There's plenty to do, and the food and drink scene is incredible. If the Zona Norte bars all disappeared tomorrow, it would be just a blip on the economic radar.
