We had a CE working 9370 support out of White Plains and he got sent on a sevcrit to Montreal. Got stopped at customs and they confiscated his 'tool kit' not made in Canada. He went by the hardware store on the way in and bought a new one. Charged the customer retail rates with the clock running. Nobody said a peep...
I went to Edmonton, Alberta in the early 1990s to install some software at a customer site. Canadian customs found my tape (this was before CDs & downloads), took me into a back room, and grilled me for at least an hour about what I was carrying, why I was there, who I was meeting, etc. They rifled through all of my bags and inspected *everything* right down to my underwear. They had one of those little goose-neck desk lamps pointed at me that were so cliche for interrogations on comedy shows. It was all I could do to keep a straight face. I think they were upset that I wasn't taking them seriously enough...
