We and friends who are heavily armed have passed through the those inspection stations for years without incident. The stations are manned by Immigration and Customs staff (aka Homeland Security) and are federal. They could care less about state gun laws (which are pretty loose in that part of the country) as they are looking for illegal immigrants. I have been through the station on the west side of the Salton Sea (I am not aware of one on the east side but I don't use that route) along with the ones on Hwy-95 from Yuma, I8, outside of Ajo before Tucson, and south of Tucson coming from Nogales. Treat the staff with respect, as you do with the TSA, and they reciprocate in kind.
