Please forgive me for this question, I have anxiety issues...
Quick Fact: I am Canadian, my boyfriend is American, we have a lot of traveling to do each year!
So it was a 2.5 hour flight to get my boyfriend to the Buffalo airport so he could fly home (cheaper than an international flight). No problem.
I approached the border, reached for my Canadian passport... And there's his US passport sitting along with it. Huge "OMG" moment. Called him up, he got cleared with his driver's license; thank goodness for domestic flights!
Tried to UPS his passport to him... They won't insure the document, and they make it VERY inconvenient for him to go and pick it up. Seriously, I don't trust any service that won't insure something that can be used for fraudulent activity. So I said to myself, "FINE! It's going on the plane with me when I go visit him."
Well, not fine, actually. As my trip approaches, I'm really scared that I'm going to get questioned at US customs as to why I have his passport.
So, the question is, am I able to carry his passport with me? Is it just a common misconception that you can't be in possession of someone else's passport no matter what? I'm not using it for anything. It's just being returned to him, after all!
Thanks!
