Not terribly surprising though, when you consider that most people in Europe have month+ holidays (paid) and have the time to travel. Most people in the US are lucky to have 2 weeks. Much harder to go anywhere far away in such short time frames.
Yep. Scruffy definitely claimed to be a Canadian at times when he was in Europe.

Well also geographically it makes sense, they would need a passport to travel to Texas or Florida because those distances would be different countries there. We dont need a passport to go to the beach or go skiing

it's also much easier to go somewhere far away without a passport in the us. chicago to l.a. is roughly equivalent to traveling from portugal to poland.

we've done this here before, but European countries are more like our states in geographical size, you'd really be hamstrung without a passport over there
