Well now, isn't it good to know that our borders are safe from alien quilts? Allow all the drugs, guns, criminals and anything else that can be smuggled or overlooked but protect us from those mean old quilts. We can all sleep a little better tonight knowing that the next terrorist attack won't be from pieced fabric.
What an idiot.

So much for NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) Someone needs to ask the border agent if he knows what that is......if he thought that our quilt teacher was going to sell her quilts....What a dufus.

YEESH!!!!!

So have I had issues with both sets of customs officials, although have had problems/attitude more with Canadian than U.S. as it happens ... it's some kind of job security issue, I suppose, combined with power corruption. The smaller/less travelled crossing, the better the treatment, I've found. In the west, coming through Customs at Vancouver airport and crossing at Blaine are both horrible.

I would not have defaced my quilts and would have waited to suffer the consequences, I think.

Can you imagine being married to a person like this agent? Or have the agent as part of your family? How sickening and disgusting do you have to be to love someone like this? YUCK

that is so sad, I read the article

What disgraceful behaviour from a trumped up creep. I dont think I could have written on my quilts. I would have been asking to see his superior, all the way to the top. But its hard to know what you would really do when you are under so much pressure.

This posting is grossly offensive and extremely and unfairly judgemental. According to your lofty, supercilious judgement, not only is the customs agent hated, but now, it seems, anyone who loves him, including any children he may have, is despised also. His loved ones are sick and digusting? Get a grip on your hate and bigotry. Who loves him has nothing to do with the subject of this post.

Good Grief!! The agent made a mistake. I'm sure he regrets it already and that some solution will be reached by those involved. You have absolutely no right at all to call his entire family and all his friends "sickening and disgusting". You crossed the line.
