I just got back from a trip to the North east, specifically Niagara Falls. Of course, I hopped over to the Canadian side as well. Nothing very eventful to report on my way back, just the basic questions (What's your country of citizenship, where do you live, etc). But the officer did swipe my card. Does anybody know exactly what the swipe is for?
On a side note, I was a little dumbstruck by the lack of geographical knowledge of the officer. After I said that I live in San Jose, CA, he actually asked me if that was a suburb of LA. He seemed surprised that it's actually close to San Francisco. I know that most americans are pretty poor in this dept, but this from someone who controls our borders?! Be very scared
