I would just like to jump in here and report my first hand experience with the drug dogs.

My border incident occured at the Calgary Airport and began due to my nervous behaviour (first time travelling alone) and embarassment of incorrectly filling out the Custom card. After they took me aside the so called "accurate" search dog proceeded to poke me. Well that began the interrogation and threats regarding the "drugs" inside me. After a good long question period they proceeded to Strip search me. All the while the friendly US Customs guy was snapping his rubber gloves to induce some serious fear. During this ordeal I eventually admitted to trying Marijuana and that was all they needed. Zero tolerance = BANNED in the USA.

I had absolutely no drugs on me. I will never again trust a Customs official again or those stupid dogs.

I am now allowed back in the USA follwing 2 appeals, 2 years and lots of $$$$ for the US Government. At least they gave me a peice of paper indicating I am a threat to US Society...
