I live in Canada and have never been pulled over in my Westy. However,
when crossing the border into the States, we (my wife, two school age
kids and a dog and I) have repeatedly asked to leave the van, out comes
the dogs and practically the SWAT team to search the Westy. I mean
really. Of course my wife is mortified because the van is in its usual
disarray and they might find a beer cap and won't let us across- but
after a thorough check, we are allowed into the country. And come to
think of it, I have been searched everytime I cross the border in the
Westy. Hmmm. As far as the other side goes, at the Canadian border
crossing, we tell them the only alcohol we're bringing back is a half
bottle of wine in the fridge and they say, "Have a good day, eh."
Sometimes it's great to be back home again.

Peace, eh!
