WARN users of caffeine pills, codeine-based headache remedies

[Ian Darwin]

As the original poster of the article on this topic:
First, let me apologize for including caffeine in the list of things
to be warned about. I was misinformed. I wanted to get the warning
out in time for those travelling to Usenix, so was less careful
than I might have been. Sorry!!

In response to the person who said I shouldn't expect to see
undercover drug enforcement agents snooping around USENIX, of
course. The context of the posting was, or so I tried to make it,
that of crossing the border INTO the U.S.A.  When you cross
international borders in "modern times" you become subject to 
the possibility of active snooping by agents of the state.

To the people who said I was overreacting, I have a seconder:
>I read an article in the local paper last week about a BC couple who spent
>$2500 on legal fees to reclaim their car. Their offence? One package of
>cigarette papers in the woman's purse...

I didn't see that article, nor do we get to check it out since
we don't have a reference. However I have been hearing these
stories a lot lately. When I get back from USENIX I will try to
track down at least the MacLean's article I originally referred to.

Thanks everybody.
