Canadian Border is tight!

I have a friend who just went from Houston to Detroit on her way to visit an
internet acquaintaince in Toronto.  She had been told by the visitors bureau
that Candada did not check US citizens with Birth Certificate and photo ID
going in.  Guess what...  She got pulled out for a full background
investigation.  Being on probation here for a minor felony (family related)
they would not permit her to enter the country!

Is this normal procedure or is it the result of the terror activities going
on in England at the moment?  She was wearing a huge back pack and carrying
a fairly large carry on bag.  Had a toungue piercing and was probably
exhausted after a 40 hour drive from Houston.
