  1. I was detained at the border and had my car searched when travelling from Canada into the US some years ago. The border guards confiscated two grapefruits and an orange from my thermos container and gave me a stern warning about bringing citrus fruits into the US. I had to read and sign pages of documents admitting guilt before they’d give my car keys back. They made me sit in a waiting room and hand over my keys. They donned masks and surgical gloves and began their search, as if looking for a bomb. It was everything I could do to keep from bursting out laughing at these two very serious ‘fruit police’. That was their only job, looking for citrus fruits. It was only after I drove away I realized Canada doesn’t have the climate for growing citrus fruit; it’s all imported from California or Florida. In effect, I was basically ‘returning’ the fruit to its country of origin. Don’t mess with the fruit police.

  2. We used to cross into Buffalo coming from Toronto with nothing but our drivers license. Now you need a passport and you’re investigated by US border services just to fly over US air space when flying directly from Mexico to Canada.

  3. A small amount for personal use is what is legal, not a huge shipment

  5. @frankbullitt1606 I didn’t realize that was the reason for those signs saying “No Firewood Allowed” posted over the area where they will sell you THEIR firewood. I thought it was a firewood cartel in effect. All makes sense now.

  6. All Canadian air passengers are checked out thoroughly when flying OVER unites states airspace. They don’t need to take off or land at a US airport in order to be vetted by homeland security.
