It sounds like you are crossing state lines (and international lines) for the purpose of committing a felony. I'm half joking. I think you can get fined for smoking a cuban cigar overseas, so I think you need to hand the phone off to a Canadian and let them unlock it.

There is further discussion about this started from a comment I made elsewhere on this article; the replies seem to clarify that only specific laws (including, apparently, this cigar issue you bring up, looking into it; that is apparently new as of 2004) have extra-territorial application.

Thanks for the link. Those are some surprising insights.
