The checkpoint between Las Cruces NM and TorC NM has a lift so they can further inspect a vehicle. Going through it I have seen some partly dismantled, tires, seats removed, door panels etc. But yeah if they don't find anything they have to put it back together. If they do find something they just have it towed back and arrest you.
