And then there's a cow-orker who was heading to SHARE, by car, with a 
colleague.  At Customs, the agent looked in the back seat and saw a couple of 
IBM manuals (hey, everybody has those in their cars, right?  Well, they did 20 
years ago...).  "Those are professional materials!", the agent announced.  At 
which point my cow-orker's idiot colleague said, "What's the big deal?  I 
thought getting into Canada was just like going into another state".

As any of you who've lived near the border know, that led to a long discussion 
in the Customs shed.  They did eventually make it to SHARE, but kids: don't try 
this at home...
