IllogicalStudent writes “An article on canoe discusses how the Canadian government is moving to counter worries surrounding Canadian citizens’ privacy being compromised by the United States’ Patriot act. Apparently the FBI currently has the right, through Patriot, to search documents which may contain Canadian information sent to US firms carrying out work under contract. Thankfully, privacy still means something up here.”

Do Canadians get fingerprinted and photographed at the border like all us other foreign criminals?
I wonder how many terrorists this amazingly intrusive and expensive system has actually caught.

The terrorists did NOT come through Canada - by seifried (Score: 3, Interesting) Thread
That is a false media meme that has become truth simply because it has been repeated so often.
To quote:
This is not the first time that Canada has been falsely accused of harboring terrorists and allowing its space to be used as a launching pad for a potential attack on the United States. Immediately after the September 11 attacks, media reports flashed around the world stating that several (and in some reports, all) of the 19 hijackers entered the United States from the northern border. We now know that all of the terrorists entered the United States directly from overseas with US-issued documents. None of the terrorists came from Canada.
