Guess you just have to hitchhike to get across with your WMD
To tell you the truth, I am surprised that PCT hikers are still allowed to 
cross into -- or from Canada -- not that I don't think they should not be able 
to. It just seems like such an obvious place to crack down. Ditto for section A 
in California
 Given all the illegals that are smuggled into this country everyday, I think 
the whole security issue is rather misplaced. Maybe that's what the "amnesty" 
for illegals is all about: if less people are coming across the border, the 
easier it is to stop the ones that still do using whatever high tech equipment 
they have
