Welcome to Canada

A Saudi Arabian-born Syrian citizen who is qualified as a flight instructor was stopped at the Canadian border. In his possession: $880,000 in gold coins and cash (which he failed to declare), a Hezbollah ring, a Palestinian scarf and DVDs related to the 9/11 tragedy.  (Update: The original article from the National Post concerning this is no longer on line.  A link to a later article from the Globe and Mail is here.)
