After doing that story the journo was put on the TSA watch list.
That way he gets delayed at the airport everytime.
Great country America, I'm glad I can fly where I need to without having to fly through there anymore.
The Americans that work at airports and borders are the biggest idiots in the world.
Wow.....CNN
Go figure.
The Canadians that work at borders and Airports are the biggest idiots in the world.
"The Canadians that work at borders and Airports are the biggest idiots in the world."
Where the heck did that come from? Also clearly you've never been to Newfoundland, nice people but THI-ICK.
WTF Han, they let you fly inside the USA? What do I pay taxes for?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a reference to the Canada/America border being about as well guarded as Jamie-Lynn Spears' virginity? Can't you simply walk accross unchallenged in some places?
(It was five years ago, sorry if this is wrong now)

Well considering the size of the border I'm sure there are areas you can cross over without being stopped. Though I did visit Windsor recently and I didn't notice any border control on the bridge to Detroit but I was just driving by. I still don't see exactly how that is a comment on the intelligence of the people who work at places where they DO have border guards.
To guard the Canadian border is near on impossible. It's length is 5061 kilometers (3145 miles).
This would require, if one guard per 100 meters, and one per shift, and accounting for weekend time as well (but making one of the five part time so he can do some administrative work also) a total of 253,050 border agents.
Considering we just passed 16,000 border patrol agents, and are trying to reach 18,000 border agents, this would represent a significant increase in the numbers of our agents.
Add in the 3830 kilometers (2380 miles) of water border we have with them (Great lakes, offshore locations, etc) and this increases 'just a little'.
we patrolled the Inland Sea of the Japanese Empire with a few thousand airmen and submariners!
Rofl... Issue shoot to kill orders to our current border patrol, and I am sure we can do the job easily! Please! Pwetty pwease? With sugar on top? I can get on my knees 
Just kidding, but honestly... that would be about the only way to 'defend' the border
"Rofl... Issue shoot to kill orders to our current border patrol, and I am sure we can do the job easily!"
If this were put into place (yes I realize it was said in jest) I would recommend all 3 countries use the policy. Mexicans could shoot Americans and Canadians looking for drugs, booze, and prostitutes (admittedly more Americans than Canadians), Americans could shoot Mexicans looking for jobs and Canadians looking for faster health care, and Canadians could shoot Mexicans looking for jobs and Americans looking for cheap medication.
Everyone gets to kill everybody else and it gives us a way to work off any tension between the NAFTA nations.
