Passport rush is on as U.S. deadline nears

Beginning Tuesday, Canadians won't be able to fly south of the border without a valid passport under a new U.S. rule that has travellers flocking to passport offices in record numbers.

"I'm a little teed off," said Claudette Bergeron, who was waiting at a Toronto passport office to renew her passport that she noticed had expired after purchasing an airline ticket.

Other customers were more frustrated after driving an hour-and-a-half to the nearest passport office and getting turned away.
