Screaming Bean
Tuesday, April 05, 2005

Seems that the US is tightening border security and that Americans will have to show passports to get back into the country from Mexico and Canada by 2008. On the surface I would say, "Great idea! This is a sound security concept." Of course having now done the Canada/US thing twice I have to say this: "Why don't you actually follow the regulations you have now!" This tightening of security implies that they are actually checking identification documents now. This isn't true. I came in via airplane from Halifax into Logan Airport back in the early 90's. I was waved through with one question about where I was born. Pick a city in the Northeastern US that the officer should have heard of and you would have been okay. Fast forward to last month. Once again we didn't even have to show a driver's license let alone a passport. I've gotten more hard hitting questions try to board a plane to Orlando. So, hurry up and get your passports before the prices go up and you too will be okay to come back from Canada. Do you feel secure yet?
