Yes, I am, too, and flying up to Canada next week, that's why I asked.

A friend of mine (and definitely not a teenager) who came to visit a couple years ago threw her FMM tourist card in a garbage bin at the airport before I picked her up. She didn't realize what it was and no one had told her she needed to hang on to it. I just happened to ask her the day she was leaving, when making sure she had checked that she hadn't left any of her chargers plugged in, and had all her stuff, including the tourist card. "What? What tourist card?" "The other half of the form you filled out on the plane." "I thought that was just a receipt- I tossed it in trash on the way out of the airport."

At least it wasn't a total shock when she got to the airport and had to pay the tourist tax again.

Now when I have friends or family come down, I alert them to make sure to hang on to that.

The first time I flew into Mexico, decades ago, I had no idea anything needed to be returned and lost the paper. They let me get on the plane anyway.

I bet it happens all the time and is one of the reasons for a procedural change. It could all be automated, especially with air travel. The world has moved way beyond pieces of paper and rubber stamps.
