A couple of years back I flew into Toronto, and took along my U.S. passport just for good measure. All the people on the plane who had just driver's licenses got waved through, but for some reason my passport aroused great suspicion and led to much questioning: was I going to get paid for the lecture I was giving, was I going to rent a car, etc. They finally let me through, but it was a hassle. So maybe the best plan is to have a passport along, but not to show it to them unless they ask. -- Scott
