Garth,
Film was out of the cannister in ziploc etc etc. May be that the WestCoast
is the culprit. Worst experience was right here at Victoria, next was
Vancouver - never had a problem out of Edmonton. Customs is another story
altogether - worst ever experience was returning to Edmonton from Spokane
at midnight - true horror story.
Since John is departing Vancouver he may want to keep both our experiences
in mind.
