I like to judge people on how they treat their guests; same for countries.
This paranoia, suspicion and lack of hospitality is telling. I mean, its not unreasonable for a jogger to not have ID with them, and its not unreasonable for a jogger to get confused there (more so for a foreign jogger).
All this drama, misunderstanding, and costs on society could've been avoided if the US border patrol contacted Canada before throwing this 19 year old French woman in jail for 2 (!!) weeks. Meanwhile, that border patrol could've potentially caught real criminals.
I get treated better by the border agents when entering the EU than I do when entering the US, and I'm a US citizen. I saw them treat a German citizen so rudely once that I felt I had to apologize to the guy and buy him a beer once we both got through.
