Recently when RETURNING to Canada, (that would be the country of my
citizenship,) from the US, I had to endure a close screening by a crew
of smarmy homeland security agents. My mistake was that I was riding on
a bus rather than in a car. Now, while I consider it invasive, I can
understand that these freaks feel the need to monitor who is crossing
the border in either direction. But the complexion of the 'interview'
was that I somehow had to meet the approval of these American agents,
before I would be allowed to return to my own country.
