Yes its part of a new homeland security policy of discrimination against 
our moose loving brothers to the north. All packets will now be stopped at 
the border and inspected by DHS. :)

Actually they just leaked some routes this morning, and blew out max 
prefixes to most peers. Pretty typical as far as accidental leaks go, 
those folks with sensible filtering and running routers which trip on max 
prefixes accepted not prefixes received probably weren't even affected. 
Another day on the internet.
