4 hrs. is an awfull long time. I saw a show last week where 2 guys were riding motor cycles around the world and to cross the border into the Ukraine they were there for 13 hrs.

I understand your frustration, however we (average citizens) don't know what happens behind the scenes at our border agencies. Criminals are very well organized and use very clever means to smuggle illegal goods across our borders. I have been pulled over crossing into the US many times and had my vehicle searched and occasionally my belongings (young guy expensive truck). My point is I probably meet a certain criteria that warrants further investigation and this was more than likely the case when you crossed the border. I always remain polite and do what I'm asked. Border guards have a job to do and even if I don't agree with their reasoning it isn't my place to tell them.
FYI cocaine is smuggled into Canada from the US and is traded for Marijuana.

Fellinher, makes a good point. They know what to look for. A young man with an expensive new car does cause notice. A single woman traveling alone with 6 dogs causes some concern. Single women usually do not travel alone for pleasure. Maybe if you had a work visa or some other reasonable explanation, but traveling alone with six dogs would be something a drug dealer would do. And why wouldnt a drug dealer think that dogs would be the perfect mule? How would the K9 approach the dogs to search for drugs?

I know it is a burden, but I'm glad they are beefing up security. You state you were treated like a common criminal. What does that entail? Did they cuff you? Did they take your belt and shoelaces?

I married a petite Asian women, but when I was single I didn't date fat chicks. Maybe had a fling when no one was looking. To call me fellinher is derogatory and very misleading.

What you just said FOH is plain rude. I'd think any chick would be glad you fell off her.
Anyway, Sorry you had a hard time sable. I find crossing into the U.S. painful too. A sad sign of the times.
