Prostitution is legal, regulated and taxed in parts of Nevada, there 
is no federal law against it.  Prohibition? Still there, they just 
changed what is prohibited.
The DEA has 10,759 people with a budget of $2.3B 
http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/agency/staffing.htm  and it's sole purpose 
is to enforce the prohibition.

If 'we' were serious about keeping people out the technology is 
there. The Soviets & East Germans did a hell of a job with a 'keep'em 
out' fence, I'm sure the military still has vast archives on it.
Don't laugh, aren't 'we' still keeping secret prisoners?
