My experiences too.  Returning to US after the CDT we presented pictured 
drivers licenses and US passports. The US Border Patrol still hassled us. 
The final straw was when he told the car following us thru the checkpoint 
"Don't give those people a ride. They might have guns in those packs."

When/where do they check your Canadian papers? I was never asked. But
I returned to the US by heading to the east, not to the west. It was
the US border that hassled me. If you can call asking a lot of nosy
questions about where I had been and what I had been doing and who I
had been with and how many days blah blah blah while having them scan
my chip-impregnated passport into their database while cameras were
trained on me from every angle being hassled.
