20 years ago, I would have agreed with you. Entering Canada I was often questioned quite extensively, especially on the "are you SURE you don't have any guns in the back of your truck?" type of question. (And I got the full search treatment once, as a young long-haired man who claimed he was attending a bridge tournament, which didn't sound plausible to the officer.)But since then, the Canada entrance process has stayed about the same complexity level, while the returning-to-the-US process has gotten vastly stricter. I find going north is faster than going south almost every time now. It got worse yet again after BC legalized marijuana.
