I've played that course. It's a shame to see it put in jeopardy.

Aroostook ping.

There’s also an airport on the border out there, basically the main runway’s centerline is right on the border, the American terminal is, unfortunately, much more modern than the Canadian.

"Anything to declare sir?"

"Yes, two Birdies and one Eagle."

"Well the Birdies may be alright but I'm afraid the Eagle is a protected species so you'll have to forfeit that."

"But I'm Tiger Woods!"

"Oh no Tiger products at all can be imported or exported. That's a violation of Federal Law. Will you come quietly or will we have to use force?"

9/11 has made everyone terminally stupid, particularly employees of the United States Government and TSA. The terrorists won, regardless of what happens in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, et. al.

I guess in the name of ‘enhanced border security,’ no insane bureacratic madness such as this can be criticized.

[untrained skeptic]

Unless I'm missing something, these aren't new laws. People have just been ignoring the laws for a very long time because following them was inconvenient.

If you can avoid going through an official border crossing by just going to play golf, and then heading into the other country afterwards, or even just after driving into the parking lot, then there basically is no border security.

My fiancee lives in Canada, and I cross the border on a very regular basis. While I would love for it to be even easier for me to cross (not that it is at all difficult now) I do understand that border security is important.

Idiocy abounds. I swear my head is going to explode today.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, anyone who lives along the border, including state borders, and who remains unaware that certain inconveniences might acrue at any time is an idiot or an ignorant fool.

How long he has availed himself of a "convenience" is irrelevant.

The problem is not all about "him".

Worrying about golfers crossing the border... Too bad Customs and Border Patrol doesn’t put the same amount of effort and thought into another land border further south.

[oldbill]

Curious.

Google maps puts the entire golf course in Canada, as well as the clubhouse.
Only the west half of the parking lot is in the USA.
The road also forms the border.

>>”We need some common sense.<<

Consider the course closed. There is no common sense available in our government at any level.
