TORONTO - Border officials say they've seized a cache of gun parts and police equipment at Toronto's Pearson International Airport that was destined for Iraq.
The Canada Border Services Agency says the discovery of the arms stemmed from an incident in February, when officers at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing in Niagara Falls, Ont., identified a man who was the subject of "an intelligence lookout."
During an interview with the man, officers discovered an airline waybill indicating an export of auto parts to Iraq.
The CBSA says further investigation revealed documentation and photos that caused officers to suspect gun parts were in fact involved in the export shipment, which was located at the Toronto airport's cargo facility.
Officers at the Rainbow Bridge immediately contacted their counterparts at the Toronto airport, who tracked down the shipment at a cargo services warehouse.
A CBSA spokeswoman said the seizure was only announced Tuesday because the agency had to wait for confirmation from Global Affairs that the arms were in violation of United Nations Iraq Regulations.

From the end of the article:
“Digirolamo said the man whose interview sparked the seizure was allowed to withdraw his application to enter Canada at the Rainbow Bridge and return to the U.S.”

Thanks for nothing, Dudley Do-Right. We owe you one.
What’s the problem? Obama’s allowing Russia to send Iran SA-2s and 3s and he even gave the Iranians $150 billion to help with weapons purchases. A few gun parts isn’t going to make any difference.
And yet *I* am “inadmissible” to the USA because my housemate had a joint in the car 35 years ago.
