Border Crossing

How do you find out for certain exactly what information appears when Canadian border guards run your information through their system? A friend of mine didn't mention a minor incident that was supposed to go off his record from when he was a kid in the 70s. It appeared in their database, and they weren't too happy that he didn't mention it. He granted entry after being roughed-up verbally and doesn't want to go through the same ordeal every time. Since there is no reason to volunteer information that's not supposed to be in the system, how does one know what they are SUPPOSED to say?

I totally spaced out what page I was on and DID mean to post the question on AskMeFi. Someone at admin please remove this and let the question I posted in AskMefi to remain. Sorry about the screw-up.
