Baja, Mexico to Phoenix to Calgary.

Connecting from Mexico to Canada you still need go through immigration in Phoenix, dubbed America’s Friendliest Airport. And some weird “Agriculture” security.

The days of staying “in transit” are long gone.

But all-in-all, not that hideous an experience. My first backscatter “porno scanner” seemed no different than the old kind.

I looked but didn’t see anyone getting groped.

Calgary was efficient as always. I got flagged as the lone gunman type. Had to go have an extra chat with security.

US Airways didn’t charge me for luggage, after all. Perhaps it’s waived if you are coming from Mexico.
