The aircraft was siezed by Canada Customs and AC had to pay some sort of penalty. (I wrote AC a letter of apology. They didn't ask me to pay the fine.) At the time, we didn't realize we were doing anything wrong by sitting quietly in the MLL.
Did you actually get nabbed in the MLL? If so, any idea how they knew about you? Just curious.
