Oh, and some photos as well.

As a quick update, I made it to Canada successfully last night. They definitely weren't selecting all passengers for arrival testing - though, there did appear to be some selections at YVR.
The man in front of me in line asked the Border Services agent how they know who to pull into the testing line, which seems like a sure-fire way to get selected for random testing :-)
Looking forward to providing trip reports as they happen!
