My wife and I got that treatment in a Montreal restaurant in late winter
1998 when we flew in from the west coast en route to our daughter's wedding
in New Brunswick.
We were told later that restaurant staff could pick out westerners from a
mile away and well before they opened their mouths.
Obviously, the FBI agents had to much time on their hands .............. I
thought that the likes of Agent Gibbs and co ate on the fly !
