    At the US Canada border crossing, if you don’t declare a pack of gum or a candy bar for a inspection it can be used as an “issue”

    I was warned of this a few years ago as they asked me if I wanted to declare anything before they started their random vehicle inspection.

    One time I was driving my Gf’s car and at some point a orange had rolled under her seat and had turned into a dried out black ball.

    They let me off with a stiff warning that I was lucky since I didn’t declare and they could tell it was an accident. They have to be concerned about the orange crops (in Florida I guess?) I was told. I was crossing in Washington State though.

      Crossing in Washington the guard got angry at us because one of us was from DC, one from Vegas, and one from Seattle. He was offended that we came from different places.

        It sucks how people are left up to the whim of the guards working. If they are having a bad day, odds are you will too.
