Law enforcement generally didn't treat places like Glens Falls, NY or Syracuse as the border zone. Now they do.

If you're a brown person or have an accent, and traveling via Amtrak from NYC to Buffalo, you may be hassled or pulled off the train by Customs or Border Patrol. That didn't happen until a few years ago.

Before 9/11 Justin Bieber was pretty much the worst thing that came from Canada.

But times change.
