The expansion, which will take effect by Sept. 30, means only diplomats and
travelers from Mexico and Canada will not be fingerprinted and photographed
when they enter the United States through 115 airports and 14 seaports, said
Asa Hutchinson, undersecretary for border and transportation security at the
Department of Homeland Security. ...


So presumably the easiest way to get in to the US without these stupid
fingerprint and photograph checks is to say fly in to Canada and cross
over the border by road....


True, but going through Canada is a hell of a lot of trouble, just to
avoid an extra wait to enter the United States directly.

It really is not a question of the extra wait, for us at least.
Anyway, Canada suddenly seems much more attractive than the USA.

Personally I've always found Canada more attractive than the USA....
