Dont like it? Dont fly through OUR country. Getting detained/deported is a risk you take being a non-citizen, coming from a country thats on our watch list AND us having intel on you? Sorry if the US covered its ass. I am aware of the risks I take when I go to Mexico. I know I dont have any rights there. Am I non citizen in Mexico demanding rights? No. Not at all.
Arrogant American? Absolutely.
Because I can think of about 3,000 reasons from NY and DC and a field in Pennsylvania why I feel that way.

1. Check your facts, as far as I know (well according to the (9/11 Inquiry in the US) none of the terrorists used Canadian Visas nor entered through the Canada..... the either flew direct from Germany or Suadi Arabia. So you can sit down and shut up yourself.
2. Canada was the first nation to offer assistance and comfort to the US. Canada accepted hundereds of flights (that could have included more terrorists) despite the risk and housed the stranded passengers (and in a lot of cases in our own homes).
3. There are basic human and civil rights guarenteed by the US in your laws.... you can't pick and choose which ones to follow when they prove "bothersome".
4. Yes 3000 people died on 9/11, of which 1000 were foreign citizens..... including my uncle.
