Well I guess I can tell my story now.  Last summer coming back from a trip to
Canada we were held at the border for hours while the border guards searched
our vehicle for Canadian ballast.  Their suspicions were probably aroused by
the kayaks on top of the car and the smug looks on our faces.  Luckily, the
dogs missed the cleverly disguised false gas tank (I misted it with just a hint
of pepper spray).
