NSA in Canada

[P3D Elliott Swanson <elliott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As much as I like visiting Canada (I'm only a 3.5 hour drive from
Vancouver), having NSA there is a bad idea. The reason, as already cited,
is customs. Canadian customs people are some of the worst petty evil
little bureaucrats on the face of the planet. People would need to be able
to document every piece of gear they own, or it's fair game to be seized.
And dealers... the mind boggles. I've known a fair number of people who
have their personal little horror stories dealing with Canadian customs. 
Things ransacked, damaged, seized and never returned after months of 
follow up paper work.

Until the Canadians can clean up their act at the border, Canada is a 
terrible venue for a convention.
