1. If they're Canadian, they don't have scannable chips under their skin.

4. (Sort of OT) My friend swears that was clue on "Lost"
The extra guy on the manifest claimed to be from "Ontario". She claims that a real Canadian would say they were from Canada, or from Toronto or Ottawa or something, but real Canadians would never just mention their province.

I have no idea if this is true, but if so, there you have a way to sniff out non-Canadians.

Unfortunately, they type "about" the same way we do, so that won't work....
