Seriously, if the American gov't was really concerned about terrorists coming in via Canada you'd think they'd have the Minute Men up here and a few thousand miles of barbed wire fence... for starters.
I just watched the same piece. They made it into a scare story, but on their quick flash of the map, you could see it was an anomaly. On the Canadian side of the lake, a small county belongs to the states. But NO PART OF IT touches the US at all. It's on the north side of the lake. Very similar to Point Roberts, WA. Once you get there, you're still surrounded by Canada. It's a non-story.
