Hi everybody! As a new member here, I must say that almost all posts here are thorough and informative.

Got a question for ricktoronto. If I understood you correctly, you got the interpretations of the rules from your MP who in turn got they from Stockwell Day. But did you see any change in any way the way they were questioning outbound pax after that?
