BLAINE, Wash. (AP) - The biggest northern border crossing west of Detroit was closed Monday after Canadian guards found explosives in a car entering the country from the United States, Canadian customs officials said.

They did not specify what type of explosives were found.

Why would anyone IMPORT explosives into BC?

Why would anyone smuggle ANYTHING into BC?

Occupants must have been rather wierd to trigger a search.

Blaine, Washington is about 2,300 miles west of Detroit.

>> car entering the country from the United States <<

Sorry folks, I thought they were coming IN to the US. Looks like they were leaving the US. Another poster said it was a grenade.

Everyone knows how war-like we Americans are, doesn't suprise me a bit. Now, where'd I leave my rocket launcher? /sarcasm

BLaine is on the west side of the state of Washington....its not near Detroit, not even close.....

Isn't Blaine where they caught the guys before the Millenium celebration, who supposedly wanted to bomb the Space Needle?
