Which was the laxest and strictest border crossing?

It probably was.

I used to work at a hostel here in my local Canadian city and would take guests across on trips to my buddy's cabin in Washington state. There was one border guard I knew to avoid because he had a hard on for treating people like shit and grilling them.. So much so that we'd count the people in line and purposely wait until another border agent opened up to go get screened.

Once we had a group of four: me (Canadian) a German and two Aussies. Unfortunately dirtbag was the only one working. It took us an hour to get through. He separated everyone and even made the German girl cry. He couldn't believe that four humans managed to plan a little trip over the line to the states and was convinced we were terrorists or something.

The one Aussie guy was a tough dude and even he was shaking after we got into Washington. He was just like "what. The. Fuck."
