Flying to the Conference?

[David Rood]

My most recent experience was a nasty one with the US immigration people
in Chicago.  They weren't going to let me back in the country because I
didn't have either a passport or a birth certificate plus ID.  The officer
there told me that they were stricter on airline passengers than drivers
because the drivers had to be processed so quickly.  That was in the
summer of 1997.  It was definitely the US immigration people who were
hassling me.

Again, everyone have a good time -- I'm sorry I can't be there.
