     Could be.  :)   
     One time Groucho Marx, before he was well known, was passing through   
   customs and listed his occupation as "jewel smuggler".     
     What I don't understand is with all the wide open border between Canada   
   and the US (and Mexico for a lot) why smugglers would pass through a customs   
   area when there is plenty of open territory elsewhere?   
     Oh sure, it may not be near some town or anything but with a 4WD it   
   shouldn't be that difficult.   
     Oh, I forget to mention yesterday till I sent my post.   
     I was stopped by border agents between Del Rio and Houston.  They were   
   using an old weigh station and funneled all traffic into it.   
     I was asked if I were carrying any contraband.  (If I were I would of   
   course told them yes since I'm a honest person).   
     I was so tempted to say "No, except for the three Mexican midgets in the   
   trunk" but for once wisely kept my mouth shut.   
     They just checked my ID, looking around inside the car (standing outside)   
   and let me go.
