Sorry for the pompous value judgement, but yes, I would have been bothered
if he *had* charged the Canadians the extra $600.  The reason why I was
bothered really goes beyond the information I gave you in the story (and is
not appropriate for this group).  I will retract my "deserve" and just say
that this person was one who lived on the edge of (should I even say this? :-)
the law every day and he didn't need to.

I was intending to point out some economic reasons why border officials
are strict.
