Then move.

Well when she was detained she was not yet legally *in* this country, so she can...never mind.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

I think a better phrase would be, "Get The (F)Outta Here."

"Then move."

You hit the nail, Rodney!

I have been stopped, searched, and had to remove my shoes at airports since 9/11. It doesn't bother me at all, these are small inconveniences compared to what could (and did) happen.

My only complaint is the refusal to racially profile, but even that is fading when I read about the new tactics of Al Qaida to use light skinned American or European muslim recruits for suicide missions.

These security measures are the reality of living and traveling in America today. And if you don't like it, Miss Jean, guess who you can blame??

Hey Moron!! You were not in your own country, you were in Canada! Everyone runs the risk of being detained at the border.
