Canadian blogger Jeremy Wright was reportedly detained by U.S.
customs at Pearson Airport, strip-searched, interrogated and
effectively denied entry to the United States.

The tale would be comical if it wasn't so scary: Apparently, the U.S.
officers found it impossible to believe a person with legitimate
business could make a living from blogging or plan to meet people
he'd never met face-to-face or talked to on the phone.
