Thanks to the insanity of the Patriot Act(sic) a they will start requiring a passport to re-enter the US this summer (not sure of the exact date). This will effectively close the longest "open" border in the world. Papers, please.

You can imagine how frustrated I felt one day sitting at the border in the USA customs booth making a total inventory of *every* tool in my kit. I guess it was just "my turn". I now don't cross the border without an inventory list. It only happened once--but once was *more* than enough. >I will be doing a job in New England this summer and >plan to return to the midwest driving through Quebec >and Ontario. I won't be working in Canada but need to >have my tools with me while there. Do veteren >border crossers have any suggestions on what to do or >not to do at border crossings regarding tools? >Thanks, >Ken Ponche Regards, Don Rose, B.Mus., A.M.U.S., A.MUS., R.P.T. 3004 Grant Rd, Regina, SK, S4S 5G7 Tuner for the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts http://us.geocities.com/drpt1948/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
