I'm not traveling to the US, either, though I live there. That is to say, I'm not leaving the country for fear of what will happen when I come back.

On two of my last three visits to Canada, I was quizzed by Canadian customs as to what I was doing there. When I was attending a conference, I was expected to produce documentation, which I didn't have, having done everything by e-mail. They were surprised that I didn't have those e-mails on my phone, but I don't do e-mail by phone. When I went as a tourist, I was expected to rattle off from the top of my head some tourist attractions I'd be visiting. The third time, however, the customs queries were by kiosk, and it didn't try to grill me.
