This can include Driving under the influence. The Canadian border has full access to the FBI criminal database And that's why several of my former co-workers could not work in Canada.

I had no recollection of this either until I reached the end of the article and realized why. The timing of the trial was amazing and the quote about the FBI agents surveiling McDonalds winners instead of terrorists was a bit odd and a head scratcher. It all happened during the Clinton administration so nothing would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
