Very true. US Immigration pre-clearance in Montreal is notorious for treating people like the worst kind of criminals just for having something on their record. I myself have been reminded that "it's not your right to enter the United States, it is a privilege" by a US Customs agent. That's a direct quote.

A grudge? Wow, would you elaborate?
