Planning on visiting the United States?

Well, if you think Heathrow and Luton were weird, try going to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, Israel... *grin* The place is almost like it is run by the military.

Well the last time I was at RAF Brise Norton I wouldn't have said their security was up to much, but that was 30 years ago and I was only flying out on an Argosy to Gibraltar with a Rolls Royce engine and a rather cute naval rating at 7.30 in the morning.

Hmm. I went to Canada a few years back, and it seemed a pretty informal check at the border.

It got tighter after 9/11.

Yea after 9-11 you can't go from or come into the US very easily.

When flying into the US you need to be at the airport in Canada 1.5hours ahead of time (which isn't to bad since domestic flights are an hour) but when flying back into Canada you need to be there 2 hours before

(my mom is currently in St. Louis and these are the guidelines she has to follow)

I'm always 3 hours early for internarional flights.
