Think you need terrorist links to be stopped at the US border? Not even close!

What about his email being used in an escort ad?

Might be what it was about. Would that be a reason to stop someone from coming into Canada, I wonder? Do Canadian CBSA worry about escorts coming into this country (male or female), as American customs do?

I was treated poorly by guards on both sides of the border years ago.

It wasn't until recently that I realized the reason it happened was probably because I had to have my pic taken and ID given to the RCMP when I worked at an agency my first year in the business. I had no idea it would be on file for border guards to access years later, or that it would have such a negative impact on how they viewed me.

Was it because the RCMP identified you as a sex worker in that database? Why did they take your pictures originally anyway?

Giving our ID and having a photo taken was required as part of the agency hiring process, probably to conform to city bylaws, and I guess that info was put into a database that border guards can access.

I have been handcuffed twice at the Peace Bridge.......I have a very common name.

Both times resulted in a review of the CCTV video of my "apprehension" and my pointing out the FATAL flaws in the Agents handcuffing me.
