I flew to the states last Saturday, and I was there 3 hours earlier (I'm on my way to being Fotze's dad)....and made it to my gate with only 10 minutes to spare. The issue was not security, or customs, but Air Canada at the check-in. There were atleast 100 people in line to check in, yet they decided 3 clerks would be more than enough to handle all the American-bound traffic.... funnily enough the 10 people in the Mexico line had the same number of agents.

It took almost 2 hours in that one section alone. Customs etc, was actually a bit of a breeze....slight delays over the usual, but not that much.
