From what i've heard and saw on the news, they seem to be more of a
checkpoint,...dogs circling cars, etc.  I've got no problem with a couple of
cops quickly handing out MAD info on a city street.  But to be stopped and
checked out by a dog.  Am i in Canada?  May i have your papers please,..and
why are you travelling today Sir?  :-)
