@bkuhn too bad it is on the wrong side of the border...
-
@bkuhn watch out for the #pornscanners
-
@hub Have you run into issues before that make you hesitant to cross the border? Just curious.
-
@ossguy being fingerprinted and mugshot. that's for starter. Here they only do that when you get arrested.
-
@hub I've never seen them fingerprint/photograph a Canadian but some (most?) nationalities get that. I do share apprehension; not as strong.
-
@ossguy if by most you mean NOT (Canadian OR USA) - FWIW Canada never fingerprinted me. Even for citizenship application.
-
@hub Very good to know. I wasn't aware so few countries were on the "no fingerprints/mugshot needed" list.
-
@ossguy it is always surprising for Americans to learn how their government treat visitors.
-
@hub Indeed. Apparently it is also surprising for Canadians to learn how the US treats non-(Canadian/American) visitors. :)

I wrote a quick blog post about my planned talks for #LFNW this weekend. Hope folks will stop by! http://ur1.ca/41wuy

1st time they've tried to send me through the #pornscanner. Amazingly, they don't put you through even the regular metal detector if you do.
-
@bkuhn only cause I've been following your dents but incontext doesn't always work for remote servers
-
@bkuhn I've opted out four or five times now. It seems to depress the TSA agents when I act super excited about the pat down :)
-
@nyergler, interesting! I was really hoping my pants would fall down (they came close to doing so twice) since they'd taken my belt.
-
I hope people click in-context to see what that last dent was about #TSA pat-downs. After sending, I realized how odd it is out-of-context.
-
@bkuhn definitely had to, it was a very un-bkuhn thing out of context
-
@bkuhn it's strange enough to set off red flags, so don't worry too much ;)
-
@bkuhn I haven't had the "pleasure" of a TSA pornscan yet. Haven't flown in almost 2 years.
-
@Highness but they don't buy you dinner or call back!
-
Bradley M. Kuhn and Richard Fontana like this.
-
@bkuhn I preferred the out-of-context dents - sounded like an episode of SG-1 :)
-
@ashcrow, I'll try not to let that feed my ego. OTOH,I'm fond of pointing out: kühn (my orig. surname) is a German adjective for "audacious"
-
@bkuhn I also really like your vinegar: http://www.kuehne.de/de/Produktwelt/Essig/Klassiker/index.php :D
-
@fabsh, that's not me. I'm singular: kühn; they're plural. (BTW, I really hate when ppl ask me if I cause fundamental paradigm shifts!)
-
@bkuhn LOL. I thought it was some kind of collective of Kühn. Die Kühne. Like a German version of the Borg. #disturbing
