Top homeland security officials said Friday that tougher border crossing rules will be gradually imposed next year at the four international Niagara River crossings. You may not need a passport to return to the United States. But it’ll take more than a library card or verbal declaration to persuade customs officers that you’re indeed an American.

The government also is studying the idea of an enhanced driver’s license. -BuffaloNews
