Kelowna woman warns others after terrifying ordeal at U.S. border

After a recent trip south of the border, a Kelowna business owner says she won’t be returning to the United States without her husband by her side.

Just a little over a week ago, Mary Ann Gill and a female friend were on a motorcycle trip to Elmo, Mont., from Radium Hot Springs, where they had travelled to the day before.

Snip

None of the officers, one who insisted he was the supervisor, would give out their names.

“They took my clothes off, ” said Gill, her voice breaking with emotion, “…and did an internal cavity search of my body. And it was awful. It was really bad, and I just can’t understand.

Snip

Maybe women don't report more occurrences because that is shame producing, similar to molestation or rape.

Clearly painful and humiliating. Barbaric and medieval.


Even if her orifices were stuffed with opium a woman in a hospital should do the exam.

Is this why, Christians and Muslims, believe in the end times Apocalypse business, because this shit is the end of the world to me.

Gawd.
