Some ICE officials dont care what the form says and demand you declare ALL foodstuffs regardless of where purchased.

Doesn't matter what the form says when you are dealing with someone on a power trip.

One of my stews got the Nth degree in customs in Cancun last week.

Rules is rules. She knew them so there really wasn't much she could do and not much that I could say because it's their country and they could legally say "Wear a green hat" if they wanted to.

Yeah, I had to give up my banana in Edmonton the other day because I couldn't prove that it was originally, legally imported into the United States, then carried into Canada. Customs violations are career limiting moves. Whatever. The guy was friendly and professional about it and we had a good laugh. I've had very good experiences dealing with Customs and Border Protection at Canadian preclearance stations. The CBSA/ASFC people are even more friendly and funny, too.

Captain I was with got pulled aside going through security leaving the exotic international destination of Puerto Rico. They had him take an apple (gasp) out of his bag that he brought in the night before and handed it to a very pleased looking lady who I can only assume was from the department of fruit stealing. When we got to the plane he proceeded to pull an entire bushel of fruit out of his bag that they apparently didn't detect with their fruit detection device. I looked in my bag and sure enough, I had an orange and an apple as well.
I have heard of fresh stuff not being allowed in other countries, but seriously, a U.S. Territory confiscating fruit on the way out?

Because it appears some airlines have (stupid) policies about things like that. Along with things like drinking on deadheads or making the 8 hour rule 12 hours. Whatever...

You can't legally drink on DH's out of uniform?

You can't even take fresh fruit from Arizona to California driving on interstate 8 without some TSA reject on a power trip stopping you and questioning your existence in life

It's been that was all my life. Hell, it used to be worse, but now I fully understand why they do this.

I grew up in the age of the "Mediterranean Fruit Fly" where Calfiornia's agricultural regions were at risk of being completely decimated from a number of sources and, quite frankly, that food being produced in the San Joaquin Valley isn't just feeding some Socal soccer mom, it's feeding a large portion of America.

When did they stop allowing you to carry your own booze???

It was in the FOM for years that crewmembers were not allowed to carry personal alcohol while working, pretty sure it's still in there. Right next to the section telling you you can only flick twice after you pee... Lemme try and find it since I have nothing better to do home on this snow day AGAIN...
