The last time re-entering the US from Canada was an
interesting experience. When asked if I was bringing
anything back with me, I admitted to bringing a deer
antler I had found on some remote beach. Well, I was
immediately shunted off to the side, and ordered to park it.
That deer antler had to be carefully inspected. I thought I'd
never get back into the US. Apparently hauling wildlife
parts across international borders is roughly equivalent to
hauling plastic explosives across the border.
