Reply #18: Defeating Operation Intercept [View All]

[SoDesuKa]

Operation Intercept was Nixon's attempt to stop marijuana from coming into the United States. It didn't last three weeks because of the ingenious way it was defeated.

Opponents of the program would rent a car that was completely clean, no marijuana anywhere. They'd drive into Mexico, and before their return, they'd take a small amount of well-dried marijuana and grind it into a fine powder. After they blew the powder into the interior, the car would reek of marijuana, and the dog at the border station would go nuts! The border agents would dismantle the car but find . . . nothing.

I am 100% in favor of defrauding a fraudulent system such as the SAT tests. It's not cheating at all, it's a response in kind. Even if the SAT's fairly measured what they purport to measure - and they don't - their use in tracking individuals into prestige careers is itself fraudulent.
