My daughter visited her Dad in Oakland a while back and doesn't have a passport yet. She's Canadian and Canadian born of course I forgot to ask her what getting through customs was like. I assume it wasn't a hassle as she never mentioned it. I guess she'll need a passport for her next visit to her Dad though. I don't have a passport either. Never did. Have only been out of Canada to accompany my daughter on visits to her Dad's and the last time I went along was when she was 8. She'll be 24 soon. Things are different in the crossings now, hey?

I know I'd have no issues with intensive screening and such to get across the border, considering the war and all thats happened since 9/11. I know I'd feel safer just knowing there's a lot of screening, especially when flying

Not like the olden days, for sure
