| Subject: Funny: Canadian uses iPad to enter US after forgetting his passport Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:27 pm | |
| A Canadian man who realised he forgot his passport as he approached the US border found a new way to gain entry — his iPad.
Martin Reisch said a slightly annoyed US border officer let him cross into the United States from Quebec after he presented a scanned copy of his passport on his Apple iPad. Reisch was a half hour from the border when he decided to try to gain entry rather than turn back and make a two-hour trek back home to Montreal to fetch his passport.
He told the officer he was heading to the US to drop off Christmas gifts for his friend's kids. He said that true story, the scanned passport and his driver's licence helped him get through last week. Advertisement: Story continues below
He said the officer seemed mildly annoyed when he handed him the iPad.
