AOX81, I'm glad you said that because I was beginning to think I was nuts. A friend of mine & I went to Niagara Falls a number of years ago, complete with case of coolers and extra ciggie-butts and they didn't even want to check the car...we were somewhat disappointed.
They only gave our driver's licenses a slight glance - we had more probs getting back into the US. Have they cracked down since 9/11, or was it before then?
