I do believe that this is a thread that I have not seen 100 times repeated!!!! Try this twist. In 2008, I left my van at the Montreal airport as I went to visit my fiancee in Morocco. Upon returning to Montreal, I crossed into the USA at Sault Saint Marie, Ontario. Now it's bad enough to be in a VW camper, but the wonderful US government computer had me profiled for coming from North Africa = Muslim country even tough I flew from Rabat to Montreal via Paris. They nearly took the van apart, and asked me as many questions as they could. When they found my sun dried tomatoes, they thought they had me for possession! They tried to hide it, but after testing the tomatoes, they returned the sun dried tomatoes with a bit of an embarrassed grin. m
