Border lineups and line etiquette

We returned from a climbing week near Revelstoke and crossed the Canada-US border at Sumas on Friday afternoon.

Off topic, why there is a 70 minute wait instead of using the full lane capacity must be a tactic to cause terrorists to crack?

On topic, there is nothing more annoying, and more likely to cause driver-driver conflict, than bad manners in lineups. Changing lanes unnecessarily is a no-no, especially if done using the hole in the lane created by my not blocking an intersection. So to the MMR 10 driver in the ancient maroon Chrysler, be warned, your karma will get you. Don't ever move so slowly that your license plate can be read...and enjoy your lifetime of happiness on the border watch list.
