Even the AC pilot line had over 25 of them lined up; never seen that before. Once at the counter, the Customs guy moaned and complained about how all Canadians hate them, to which I agreed and told him I would be applying for Nexus to avoid all this again. Guess he didn't like that and sent to me to Secondary to penalize me for my comments....I've only ever had bad experiences flying from the US into T1...I can't imagine this place in 5 years. I'm close to switching to AA that flies into a fairly quiet T3...AC can keep T1!
I think you're lucky that you didn't go to the cavity search area.

Or did you?

I'm heading to Atlanta on Sunday, and I hope not to suffer any collateral damage when I come back!

P.S. Augusta, here I come! ^
