	Terror arrests put focus on Canadian border \| Ocala.com \| Star-Banner \| Ocala, Fla. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Tighter border controls between the United States and Canada are likely to be less useful than better domestic intelligence and information-sharing in detecting homegrown terrorist plots in North America, experts on terrorism said Sunday.
		By the account of Canadian authorities, the suspected fertilizer bomb plot that led to the arrest Saturday in Ontario of 17 men, most of them Canadian citizens of South Asian origin, appeared to follow the pattern of successful terror attacks in Madrid, Spain, in 2004 and in London last year.
		Brennan said that while improved border technology and a planned requirement that Canadian visitors carry passports may help, there is no chance of stopping all potential terrorists from crossing a 4,000-mile border that includes huge swaths of forest and the Great Lakes.

	US targets other leaky border \| csmonitor.com
		Typically, border patrol employees start on the southern border, and then, after a three- to five-year long learning process, are eligible for deployment to the north.
		The Canadian border also has a higher priority than the southern one when it comes to the placement of radiation detection devices, point out US officials.
		However, US land borders historically have been porous, and the boundary with Canada may be even more difficult to defend than the stretch of scrub, desert, and cities to the south.

	Sen. Leahy Gets Canadian Border Fence Idea Scrapped
		The idea comes from lawmakers who think the Canadian border, at 3,145 miles, is like the Mexican border, he said in a telephone interview from Washington.

		If Canadian customs officials aren't checking for the PASS cards, Americans without the cards could be allowed to enter Canada, and then be unable to get back into their own country.

	The Big, Bad Border (Seattle Weekly)
		The northern border has long been ignored as public attention has been riveted on the southern border, a place of mythological stature in the American psyche, where our expansionist history confronts the economic desperation of our neighbors and the seemingly unstoppable flood of illicit migration.
		The Canadian border was more than undefended it was wide open, says Tom Hardy, head of the Seattle office of the federal Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, part of the newly created Department of Homeland Security.
		That doesnt sit well with Canadians who see their country as being the true land of immigrants, and the U.S., for all its welcoming rhetoric, as being hostile to immigrants, particularly those who are Muslim and non-European.
