A CANADIAN man who realised he had forgotten his passport as he approached the US border found a new way to gain entry - his iPad.
Martin Reisch said yesterday a slightly annoyed US border officer let him cross into the United States from Quebec after he presented a scanned copy of his passport on his Apple iPad.
Reisch was a half hour from the border when he decided to try to gain entry rather than turn back and make a two-hour trek back home to Montreal to fetch his passport.
