In light of all the 9/11 anniversary stuff... The posts on security etc, I thought I would share this with you.

This past weekend I went up to Grand Bend (actually Bayfield) Ontario for a Girls Weekend. My husband's aunt has a cottage there on Lake Huron. I was extra positive to make sure I had my driver's license and birth certificate. The people in the car with me had their birth certificates as well. We went through the checkpoint and were asked our nationality, where we were going, what we were bringing etc. Not one of us had to show I.D., no car check..nothing. On the way back, U.S. side, same treatment.

Not once did I have to prove my citizenship or open my trunk. In fact, nobody in line did. I ask you this... Are we really secure? Of course not. They can let us look in on NORAD all they want, via CNN (and wasn't that just lucky they were diverting a plane while CNN was filming?) and I'm still not going to buy their particular brand of "safety".
