Also you mentioned: " You don't even stop at a US checkpoint on crossing into Canada". This is a true statement, to a point.

Border search authority is the same at this 'outbound' point of inspection as it is at the inbound point of inspection, which is usually conducted on the other side of the buildings. These outbound inspection sites will be marked accordingly and normal driving lanes will be restricted in order to funnel all traffic to the point of inspection. For your own safety, please be prepared to stop at these outbound inspection points.

Lake, I don't understand what you're saying. You're saying, entering Canada from the US, after going through the CBSA checkpoint, that there may be a secondary inspection? And it's performed by which agency, CBP or CBSA?
Not doubting you, but we cross the border in WA probably 50 times a year or more and never seen a secondary inspection, save for the "random" cars that get pulled over. They get sent there from the booth.
What are you referring to?
