Bragging or complaining???
;-}


I normally drive places, so traveling w/tools is usually no problem.

However...

In July 2001, when I was coming back down into the Yukon from Alaska, the 
Canadian border gendarmerie asked me if I had tools specific to my 
profession. I had my basic toolkit with me and foolishly answered honestly.

Spent the next 1.5 hours going through EVERYTHING, then had to repack my 
pickup.  I have absolutely no idea what he was suspecting I might have or 
whether he just had a severe wedgie that day.

I was not a happy camper.
