It is all weird for me, too, Steph. I am not opening up IE to read the nipple article.
I haven't crossed into or out of Canada since 9/11, but I once got back in with just a pay stub (I was a teenager on a school trip, though).
The hardest was crossing out with a 50 year old man, and 35 year old woman and 25 year old me- all unrelated, 1 a Canadian citizen on a student visa (the 35 year old) and carrying theatrical rental costumes for an opera.
I once got into the US with an expired student ID, the only picture ID I had. Those were the days.
The article was all squished over to the side for me, too (in Chrome). I didn't read I all the way through, but I've heard of the custom before. Which doesn't necessarily add credence, as I can't remember the context.
Who makes that custom up? I'm sure I'm overreacting because I'm a chick, but I get a severe DNW step-back reaction from the whole thing.
My experience is that Canadian border guards have been getting progressively grumpier over the last ten years or so. Or maybe I've been getting more suspicious looking?
Maybe if you engaged in some border-social nipple-sucking?
Um....no thank you.
(I have not clicked on The Link. I'm pretty sure I don't want to.)
Have they ever suspected you of smuggling contraband in your petticoats?
Nope, thank goodness. And the immigration/border guards in Japan were charmed by Clovis.
I think people are boggled enough by your clothing that they sort of forgot there are places you aren't supposed to go, Jilli. Which is quite convenient.
I totally read the "No nips, game over" article. And since I've never heard of anything like it, I am curious enough to look for more information. Because that's either fascinating or someone's being punked.

That was pretty much what I thought.
