[Mr. Lucky]

Canadian authorities had no record of the man entering the country.

Which is why terrorists are so fond of Canada as a transit point to the US.

Which is why terrorists are so fond of Canada as a transit point to the US.

1. Very open immigration policy. People can land at a Canadian airport WITHOUT PAPERS
and generally be granted something like asylum, as well as housing and welfare.
(This was reported for the guy who planned to bomb LAX.)

2. Ease of entry into the USA, long border with some very isolated checkpoints, especially
in the middle part of the country.
