@skematica To the contrary, it was a lot more feasible before 9/11. I remember a flight to Mexico a long, long time ago. Customs was little more than, "Hey, what's up". Boom. Done. Only reason I was stopped coming back in was an agent wanted to know how much I paid for the marble chess set I was bringing back and where I picked it up. She thought it was awesome.
It's a lot different now.
