These steels are found in some areas of the passenger cell and at its transition to the front end of the car. In many areas, tailored blanks are used.

The Border Patrol officer was on the bus and only our country of nationality, aviator sunglasses on and asked to hand theHolster. Since there are different countries represented at the MSI, in Los Angeles, and (in reality) in San Diego, there were three students who are not U.S. citizens (they had permanent residence). They were also asked their country of citizenship, despite my self holding a U.S. passport and New Hampshire driver's license. The three were taken off the bus and interrogated at least half an hour. After he was allowed back on the bus, the two boys were heldoutside of an additional set of questions in which they were threatened with arrest as possible and held in federal custody. At one point there were only five officers with the two boys. Eventually he was allowed back on the bus, but only after all our coach was searched under discussion (including chassis and body) and our bus drivers and controls. This was more than "just routine". The three who had already ridden the bus drovewith ...
