The most inconspicuous, unguarded, porous
international border crossing I have ever seen.......A German - Swiss border crossing point in Konstanz (Constance). The sign marks the actual line. The street and house are both totally within Swiss territory. Without the sign, a stranger to the area would cross an int'l border and not have the slightest inkling. The two governments must calculate that a certain amount of illegal smuggling, etc. takes place at this and similar crossings each year.
