I am sorry but I find this ridiculous of the US to even suggest.

I went through the x-ray scanner.
Why?
Cause I was having my Periods and I thought if the officer touches me down there and feels the padding...they would think i am carrying drugs in a bag in my crotch and strip me naked and poke my front and back.
Do you know how embarrassing that would be?

hahaha...I would do the same thing. Its nice how I get negative karma for posting a story

Maybe this is a bit off topic but do they use the scanners on domestic flights?

I lived abroad in india & i was often confused with being American. America is everything & all.
When i lived in india ppl talked so highly of America n about ur president..haha so feel good about that LoveYoung. Haha

Just want to add that id go through the xray scanner or a pat down! For security. There was a case of someone hiding explosives in private parts. That is what made them get xray scanner. Or "extreme" pat downs. They were not made of metal so regular xray metal detectors wouldnt work, cant catch it.
Idiots like these ppl are making it bad for all people. We have to go thru extreme security checks nowbut im ok with because it could mean safer travel.

I agree with Jim - that all professions have criminals!!!

missinghim: Thank you for sharing that. I am all for security though and do what is needed but if I feel like they have overstepped their boundaries with their job then I would get concerned.

Btw kelKel and Baloo, I got you covered. +1 to both of you. Just letting you know I appreciate your willingness to bring your stories in here.

OK so lets get back to basics with the original thread. Wouldn't visa's hinder Canadians from going south of the border to shop/holiday etc at a time when the US welcomes our money into their economy?

 

[Love_Young]

Yes I agree lets get back to the original topic.

patiently_waiting: It would definitely hinder it. Do you think it would hinder those from Canada working for US company? Maybe not since they already have a visa to work correct? Either way I think both countries would be losing out since they depend on each other for a lot, you know!

 

[patiently_waiting]

That may not hinder those working in the US but living in Canada if your Nexus card negates the visa I would think (but would that work?) The more US companies that come to Canada, the less inclined Canadians will be to attend Black Friday if they have to go through hoops to get there...

Joe Lieberman likes it when people talk about him. That's probably all the explanation necessary.

I am not familiar with him. But if he likes to be talked about then this would explain a lot for sure.

ha ha is that who started this? Thought it was Sarah Palin....mind you, I guess her family couldn't wander over to Canada for free health care if they needed a visa...

I honestly can't believe the amount of negative ratings I am getting.
Is it wrong to post a link or discuss opinions? If I am giving bad advice based on actual immigration matters than I rightfully deserve them but I don't see how anyone on here deserves I good or bad rating for an opinion from a link.

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong here?
I would appreciate the honesty more than ratings. I can change things if they are spoken to me but I can't change what I don't know.
I really do want to make friends along the way here and also help. The best way for me to do that is to know what you all think. PM me if you would feel more comfortable that way.

P.S. I send my sincere apologies if I offended anyone. Also, I was not informed of the type of man this was that was suggesting such a change. I am sadly embarrassed that I started a thread even mentioning this guy. :-[

Is there a way to delete a topic? I would rather not offend anyone else who may come across it.
