Sounds to me like our own U.S. TSA are not the only knotheads "in charge."
A quote from the web:
" WARROAD, Minn. - A Minnesota senior citizen was jailed for 12 days in Canada after a jar of motor oil in her car was mistaken for ******.
Janet Goodin was crossing the border at the Manitoba port of entry to play bingo when Canadian border guards found a jar of brownish liquid in her car, and ran some tests.
Goodin, a former administrative assistant for the Girl Scouts, was shocked when it tested positive for drugs.
She explained to the guards that the jar was actually full of oil, because her son-in-law had recently done some work on her vehicle.
But the 66-year-old woman was handcuffed, interrogated and strip searched, then charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
The charges were later dropped when tests showed the oil was not ******, but in the meantime she spent 12 days in custody, in the remand centre.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says he wants a report on the April arrest from the head of the Canada Border Services Agency. Toews won't say whether Ottawa will apologize to Goodin, but says whatever action is deemed to be appropriate will be taken."
