Softwood lumber.
Multiple trade tribunals - finding for Canada. And still the US violates the agreements. I'm getting cynical as to why these restrictions are in place and followed.
Related to the original topic - I too find it annoying when I can't buy shows on iTunes or watch tv shows online due to not being in the US....

Oh, come on! We all know to be terrified of letting 5-year-olds onto the plane (video). If they share a name, they're bound to share ideologies. And what better place to hide explosives than in a shitty diaper?

I think this might work... the explosives in the diaper I mean. When I fly with my son we carry the diaper bag, and I've not always sanitized it for flying sufficiently. So there is often a larger bottle of sun screen or something stupid like that in it. Now, by the time we hit the airport security it isn't unusual that we will have changed DS's diaper. And we use cloth - really nice ones which I am not about to throw out. So by the time we are in security there is a wet diaper nicely wrapped in a plastic bag in the diaper bag.

Security screens the bag and sees something suspicious - like the sun screen. So they ask if it is okay to search the bag. In the interest of fairness I warn them of the other contents of the bag. You know - not once have they followed through with searching the bag. :)
