Yeh, yeh, I think he was lucky that the US immigration officer was trying to show some courtesy to let him through.  But now this moron brag this over the net, the officer will definitely be scolded !   There will be no more courtesy towards any forgetable Canadian !  He should have kept his mouth shut and just happy with the luck !
