Was talking to a co-worker today who, coming back from Rhode Island last night, was asked at customs if she's been involved in any protests in the last 30 days?! Also read that they are screening any incoming or outgoing Saudi Arabians....

Big Brother is watching you...especially those Canadians in France!
