going to cross into Canada for something or other. The driver had pot with him so just before crossing he stashed the bag in a snowbank along the highway. We got into Canada but on our way back into the USA the border guards vacuumed the car and found seeds. The men were strip searched, us women were threatened with strip searches but the children (2 of them under 4) were searched (not stripped) and one of the idiots had slipped a pipe into the hood of the little girls coat. The guards were furious. I did not blame them even at the time. The pipe should have been left in the snowbank.

So you see if one wanted to bomb a plane it would not be beyond the realm of possibility to hide a bomb in the blankets or clothes of an innocent child.
