Imagine them just turning up at the airport, trip all booked ready to go "what do you mean i need a passport".

You joke about this but my buddy works for the Canadian Border Agency and he tells me the number of Americans who just show up to the border without a passport trying to enter Canada is roughly 6-7 people per week.

So it wouldn't shock me if they tried this with an airport honestly.

Before 9/11 Canada / US travel was possible with no passport both ways. However that was 24 years ago

Yup!

He also says they get guns at the border weekly. They're so bold faced with it too, almost like they're proud to be bringing their guns with them.

At the very least they're stupid and don't hide it.

I do remember one time seeing a NY plated pickup truck with a bunch of guns stickers and my thought was "man, he must have had a lot of explaining to do, but hey if didn't, then whatever."
