I'm glad to hear that our border "guards" are at least being polite. This process is tolerable if you are not treated rudely. I've been profiled as well in LAX by the INS and they were nice to me....thorough....but nice.

Terenz.....it was as a transiting passenger that I was put thru this process by the way, and that was in Feb 2000.


Significant political pressure from public outcries and US government efforts have resulted in a more strict "vetting" of anybody attempting to enter Canada.

Witness the Algerian with the trunk load of explosives arrested recently upon attempting entry into the US via the BC/Washington state border and you'll understand why.
