Contraband stopped at the US border

[Glaucus]

If you've ever wondered why so many Americans think their government is run by a bunch of morons, read this:

Woman's candy egg seized at border

A cross-border kerfuffle over a popular chocolate treat nearly cost a Winnipeg woman a $300 fine and saddled her with a bureaucratic headache.

Lind Bird was recently stopped at the U.S. border and selected for a random search of her vehicle. She was warned she could have faced a fine after the customs official found — and seized — her $2 Kinder Surprise egg as illegal contraband.

Bird learned U.S. authorities have banned the candy because they come with a plastic toy inside that could, if eaten, choke a small child.

:shock:

If I were her, I'd tell them to get stuffed, then take it to court all the way, making sure the National media was brought along for the ride. We need more examples of stupidity to illustrate how "fail" things are around here with "National (in)Security"... Maybe with a hundred or so stories of woe, we can actually get the American Sheeple to actually do something about it.
