Ok.

No desire to be shot at. Also can't sue the govt.without their permission and I doubt they would consent.

We were not at code orange until very recently. The damage may all ready be done.

The cells that have been uncovered were here before the increase in alert level and before 911.

Maybe code orange really tightens up the border with Canada as you say.

Will the river be closed to recreational boating this summer?

If not will the authorities be stopping all pleasure craft that use the St. Lawrence?

Are there new Border Patrol check points set up outside the villages and hamlets that border on the river inside the U.S. to catch infiltrators before they get to Rt.81 or Rt.11 or the myriad of county roads and disappear into the vast interior of this country?

Sure, the higher level of alert increases defensive measures to prevent damaging attacks to the targets you listed however short of absolutely closing the river to recreational boaters it is easy to get across the Canadian border to the U.S. on the St. Lawrence river.

Plan to be fishing in the St.Lawrence sometime next summer. I'll be the short, tanned, dark haired, swarthy, second generation, Italian American and I'll have my U.S. passport with me so I don't get hasssled too much by heightened the security. Actually in the past I have had a harder time getting into Canada than coming back to the U.S.

Well ... I wish you success with your "fishing" trips this summer. I believe the war with Iraq will probably determine the threat level by summer.

I used to live in Wolcott - spent many summers at Wolcott on the Lake. Love fly fishing - especially for rainbow trout in a rushing river!!

Having just crossed the Canadian border three times this weekend, I can tell you security is pretty inconsistant.

They didn't even check my ID on the way back this afternoon.

Yesterday they wanted it, and after that, I still got about 15 questions.
