Subject: [Leica] OT - Traveling to Canada from US.

Here is a story of unexpectedly good treatment at the U.S. border on
returning from Canada.  We were a party of four, returning to the U.S.
after visiting five Canadian provinces.  The border post was the one just
north of Acadia National Park in Maine.  We were two husband and wife
pairs.  The driver, the other guy's wife had her purse snatched in
Montreal, losing her credit cards, her driver's license, and her passport.
All she had as remaining documentation was the police report of the
incident, a report that was written in French.  We were quite apprehensive
about what would happen when we hit the U.S. border.  To our surprise, the
border guard looked at the other three passports, heard the story, glanced
very briefly at the police report, and waved us through.  Didn't even
inspect the liquor our driver's husband said that he had bought in Canada.
