I’m wondering how they will handle this at the Northwest Angle in Minnesota.

Point Roberts is in a major metro area, Alaska, is a large state, both of those areas have ways, in a pinch to bypass the border.

The Northwest Angle is very remote and the border checkpoint is a telephone. How do you check cards over a phone?

One other place I just thought of is Derby Line, Vermont. Due to a surveying error the US-Canadian border cuts through a bar, a library, an opera house and several homes...

Well, this Point Roberts is in Washington State, but connected to Canada, right next to Tsawwassen...
