This recent search and seizure:

certainly points to the motivation for tackling tips.  The rewards are =
split between the various forces.  My own story is somewhat similar.  =
Landing in Calgary one night we were met with 3 customs officers and a =
customs beagle.   My wife and I consented to the search of the aircraft =
and a pastrami sandwich was seized.  We had brought our lunch from =
Florida for the day-long flight.    I watched as an officer thumbed =
through the sandwich while conferring with Ottawa by cellphone regarding =
the disposition of the contraband.   Eventually it was handed back to =
me, presumably for me to consume, because "anything less than 4 ounces =
of meat" was not a concern.   This was in the day of mad cow.  I asked =
if the dog wanted the sandwich and I was told that he wasn't "an AG dog, =
he was a drug dog".    Then I was asked why we always arrive in Calgary =
at shift change time indicating they believed this to be a suspicious =
pattern.  I felt silently proud that they thought me to be smart enough =
to figure that out.   I explained that if you leave Florida late in the =
morning and stop at a few places then you end up arriving in Calgary at =
the time we arrived.  We now try to avoid arriving at that time.
