There are reports that delays to cross the Canada-U.S. border are longer than ever, jeopardizing trade and tourism.
It's unclear if the waits are due to wise security measures, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff's "gut feeling" that a terrorist attack is on the way, or just bureaucracy. (Traffic is likely to back up on I-5 for the next two years thanks to construction at the Peace Arch.)
It would be nice to streamline the border-control procedures, not just postpone imposition of prohibitive rules -- especially before Olympics crowds arrive.
