"George Greene" wrote in message ... That "hassle factor" is a major one to me......basically, unless we're talking 2 full days of driving or more, we're going to be making the trip by car, and not plane. Way too many unneccessary "dog & pony show" security features, not to mention the capriciousness(different rules w/every screener)of it all. George Are you driving across the border? From where? I've crossed into the US from both Mexico and Canada post-9/11. Of course, I'm a citizen, but the process didn't seem any more onerous than the usual garbage I go through when I fly home from international travel. I agree that it's a dog-and-pony show, but I'm not sure that it's so horrible that it, alone, is a reason for avoiding the US (though I can think of other reasons just now). You do know, don't you, that once you're in the US, there are no more security checks if you're driving (except occassional checks on I-5 just north of San Diego looking for illegal aliens). Juliana L Holm wrote in message ... The Washington Post's article this morning on this topic noted that issue as twofold, both the distaste for American actions and the hassle factor of the new security procedures. -- Julie |
