here in the states you can get a passport in 2 hours or so. just go in, pay an expediting fee, and pick it up later that day. as for canada, i dont know.

I know one post 9/11 that got in with a fucking Sams Club card!

Of course they get pissy coming out if the car is full of mutton and sun chips gas....and the Americans have left birth certificates in the trunk!

Are they still doing reverse profiling? Holy shit!! I swear they just want us to get bombed.

Nick, I hear ya!! After 9/11 boarding domestic flights I got stopped three times for the (cough) "random take some out of line at the boarding gate" bit.

The last time. I was going to the Flordia show. Was hot in Philly, and was of course hot in Florida. I checked my luggage, no carry on, a bottle of water, my ticket and a just-purchased paper back in my hand and I'm wearing Tshirt and shorts.

Meanwhile -- no bull -- six people in front of me was an student kinda guy, about 23 years old, thick beard, of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern origin with a giant and I mean giant bright red heavy duffel bag, the kind they like to pack through Europe in and stay at hostels. And behind me, a skinny guy who kept sweating and looking around a lot. And another couple in dashikis and Afrikan caps ...

So yeah, pick on the early forties Irish white guy with no bag that's almost naked!!
