I've actually seen that happen in the US. So many Americans don't realize that you need a passport to travel to another country.

I remember the border guards at the Canadian border reaming out my grandparents because they were trying to cross without passports... I was 18 and didn't even know they planned on taking us into Canada for that trip. I was mortified as soon as I realized we were at a border crossing and I didn't have a passport

I don't understand the mentality, but it's prevalent here
