IN 1992, while on a show trip for Beckett
I drove from Seattle area to a couple of shows in Vancouver, Canada
Came back over the border and was driving a nice rental car and decent clothes and the crossing board agent probably said to himself, got a live one here He was insistent I was doing something wrong so he not so nicely asked to me open the trunk of the car. Opened the trunk and as I knew, there was nothing in there. Comes back to me with a sound of disappointment in his voice and says, yep that's a trunk. And to be honest, I did screw up. I thought I had nothing I bought at the Canadian show but I did buy a 1990 Leaf Larry Walker and, ooopsie, I forgot to say that. After that brief break, I got back on my way back to the hotel and later that night went to the 1st minor league game I would ever attend Rich

In 1988 I had been renting a cabin in northern California, later visiting and buying a piece of property in Olympia, WA. On my way back to MN I decided to take a scenic Canadian route. Everything was routine at the border until the girl pulled out a roll of toilet paper I had in my trunk (the spare from my cabin stay... I figured, why leave it behind?) She questioned me about it and didn't like my innocent, true answer.
Out of the car, waited until she and a co-worker thoroughly went through everything in my car. I suppose they thought I was planning some back woods survivalist-type escape into the great northwestern wilderness. After all, this was the 1980s and Canadians were using toilet paper by then...  I'm sure they have a lengthy list of items that trigger the full search.
