Okay.  Just on airplanes.  It is also not legal to carry propane or butane
type stoves on planes.  If you are driving across the border, they let them
in (or out), no problem.  Only camping related item I've heard problems
with when driving is the bear spray stuff (pepper spray), which is like
mace and illegal in Canada if used on humans.  Much of the bear spray is
actually made in Canada so I don't know what their problem is....
