Man arrested at Best Buy for using $2 bills

By the way, how many knew that there is currently a new proposal by the Bush administration to require US/American citizens to have to show a Passport when re-entering the USA after visiting Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Panama? The article in the Lansing State Journal I read wasn't clear if this is an actual bill already introduced into Congress or just an intention to produce such.

Hi Dako-ta

I knew about this measure; it will affect me and mine rather soon.

I cottage on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario. Most of my cottage neighbours are Americans from the Buffalo, New York area. The area was started as a 'cottage community' by fishermen from there who started building cottages in the 1920's and 1930's.

Most of them already have Nexus cards for quicker border crossings. It is completely unclear as to whether this passport requirement will affect them, as they already pass a fairly rigorous listing of personal information to get this card, but it will certainly slow down an already lengthy weekly drive if they do need to get and show passports to cross the border.

It will affect me and my family for winter visits to my Buffalo friends. We often go to Niagara Falls for a visit and hop across the border to pay a social call to them and their children. On our last visit, it was a quick and painless stop at Customs and Immigration at the bridge. But if we all need passports, it may preclude those visits.
