    "(The agent) was incredulous. He kept asking me: ‘What about the Olympics?,'" she said in telephone interview Thursday on her way to a speaking engagement at the University of Victoria. "I was totally shocked. They were demanding to know what I was going to be talking about, in detail."

    Goodman said the vehicle she was travelling in with two other assistants was stopped at the Washington-B.C. border around 6 p.m. Wednesday once agents realized she was a journalists.

    She said she was asked at least six times if she was sure she wasn't coming to Canada to speak about the Olympics."
