Be prepared for the Customs folks. My rollaboard was completely searched, and my backpack was given a cursory search in DTW Sunday. My digital camera photos were looked at for kiddie porn. Good thing I'm not into that. I got about 10 questions about my trip, possibly because it was short and I had no checked luggage.

Be a good boy and declare everything. I did and didn't have to pay duty, even though my declaration exceeded $400 AND I was only gone from the U.S. 45 hours, not the minimum 48. Honesty pays.
