Blaine, Washington is about 2,300 miles west of Detroit.

And thank God for that.

It'd be farther, if possible, but is physically limited by this thingie called the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Pacific Ocean.

Can we move Detroit further east, maybe?

>> car entering the country from the United States <<

Sorry folks, I thought they were coming IN to the US. Looks like they were leaving the US. Another poster said it was a grenade.

Everyone knows how war-like we Americans are, doesn't suprise me a bit. Now, where'd I leave my rocket launcher? /sarcasm

Don't you just love how the drooling baboons on this site read Explosives, Car, Canada and immediately assume the direction was FROM there TO here. Yeah, lets put up a wall and some mines! What a bunch of morons.

I dunno. Blow up stuff I suppose.

Hmmm. The car was entering Canada. Maybe our secret invasion has finally begun.

This ties right in with the Americans sneaking that insult dog into Quebec. War may not be far off.

They were coming from the United States, probably and accident. Is there anything to blow up in Canada?

Hey! We may be primates but I would at least assume most posters either don't drool or have waterproof keyboards.

Probably a dummy grenade, or a deactivated one.

She was not going into Canada, she was coming into the US.
They found a gernade in the glove box, she was headed to Vancouver Washington. The car was her husbands, and he is in the service, so they are checking it out, but the border opened up about 1 hour after it was closed.

I dunno. I think it was a reasonable assumption, especially given prior incidents. (I assume you are in the States...)

And, as MindBender26 said, Why would anyone want to smuggle anything INTO B.C.? (As opposed to explosives into the States.)

One grenade?

Woosies!

I never went off-post without 2 grenades, some CS, a block of C4 and 400 of 5.56 rounds in a battle pack!

:~)

FWIW, the radio report I heard said "a bomb and a grenade."
