Now you tell him!
Anyway, I appreciate the advice. I tend to have border-phobia even when I'm not doing anything wrong. I wouldn't want to face 5,601 counts of copyright infringement while on my honeymoon just because the hotel with the Jacuzzi suite is on the Canadian side of Niagra Falls, yet I wouldn't want to travel without my cherished Empeg, either!
I had actually considered storing it overnight in a locker at the bus station (a terrifying thought), or removing all the files I don't have the original cd's for (and bringing them along for evidence), but I probably don't need to go to such drastic measures, huh?
