They were itching to use their little cans of pepper spray so bad they were drooling. The Canadians were polite and courteous about the whole matter but the American side was pure hell. I couldn't believe it. We passed a couple with 4 small children coming out as we were headed in and everyone except for the man was in tears and I thought that was odd. Once I got inside I realized why they were so upset. It's pretty sad we have to pay these guys to treat us this way.
