I get it. I see so-many Border Agents driving around anymore when I'm up at my father-in-laws (5-years ago I seldom saw any). I also used to cross the border at Baudett/Rainy River to get a better selection of wines for game meals, but getting back into the US was such a PITA I just quit going. I pack a cooler with the appropriate vino, good cheese (smoked gouda, Jarlsburg, Stilton), and other exotics (basalmic vinegar, dried morels, etc.)and take it with me now. Much less hassle.
