pedro, it’s just you. Nobody else. You’re on the list. They’ve checked it twice. They know you’re naughty, not nice.

#16, the destinations I fly to are not usually within 10 miles of the airport, that’s why I fly. How long ago did you used to go? If it was more than a few years ago, then I might agree with you. The US border guards have gotten far worse; they’re paranoid beyond belief.

#15 Oh I don’t know, the “live within 10 miles of the US-Canada border and I go across at least once a month” part? Why the heck would you fly if you live 10 min from the border?

And still, Canadian frisks at airports are far worse, be it internal or international flights. Used to fly there every week & sometime twice a week for 3 months there.

#14, I missed the part where I said I was going across by land. I’m in sales and I travel almost constantly by air.

#12 I missed the part where you’re forced to go thru metal detectors & x-rays machines while you cross a land border.

Go get a pilot’s license and fly privately. You won’t have to put up with any of the inconveniences the airports levy onto travelers.

#10, wow your sample of one trip really confirms your position. I however, live within 10 miles of the US-Canada border and I go across at least once a month, and I can tell you the US border agenst are far worse than the Canadian ones.

#9 DFW-YVR & YVR-SEA. I was left without luggage for 2 days courtesy of the Canada Border Patrol doing the former; worst of all, they tried to pin that down on the US when I arrived, but they were bright enough to leave a card inside the luggage saying it was them.

The latter was a breeze and so was SEA-AMS the same day.

I did that less than 2 months ago, so I speak from experience.

#5, pedro, you obviously haven’t traveled between Canada and the US in years…it is FAR worse going south.

Male authority figures. Ultimately, it’s really all about getting other men naked.

you should all look at the positive of the new security measures. Now that everyone is gonna be naked walking through the airport it will encourage us all to stay in shape. Keeping fit will extend out life expectancies and really piss off al-queada.
