A few years ago, on our first Canadian crossing, they had us held up for 2 hours. They insisted we had guns because we were from Texas. They searched the RV for 2 hours, 2 people, then let us go.
When I crossed in May that was the first question and when I said no I was challenged, in a friendly way, that they thought it was the law in Texas that we all had to carry guns. I laughed and said no, he laughed and then told me I was flagged in the Canadian database. Had me pull over to the side and go inside and 'splain things. It was a minor work related issue from two years ago. Anyway, I ended up crossing back and forth four times and each time I was asked addition questions but never had a problem. I never had to undergo a search.
Did have US Customs ask me on one crossing what kind of work I used to do and from that I gathered they also had me flagged. But again, no problems in four crossings this summer.
