I've been there! My Great Grandma on my dad's side lives in Buffalo and uhh..... ohh.... heh eh, yeah, not exactly the greatest impression. Not saying that everyone there is a racist jerk, but uhh... yeah it seems like my entire extended family and their friends that live there are really racist. Also American border guards are really really jumpy it always seems. That's my experience with the "North" as you guys call it. My wing did get to be involved in a joint effort with the Civil Air Patrol (US equivalent to what I'm in) at an airshow a while ago and they were pretty nice. So I'm just gonna stick by the whole "Jerks and nice people exist everywhere" ideal. The internet has taught me well! XD

Yeah, I think American security officials in general tend to be very paranoid, at least in my experience. Ah, well.
