As much as I'd like to blame this on Mango Mussolini...those laws are from the US Customs Dept. They've been on the books since before Mango Mussolini groped, grabbed, and conned himself to power.sigpic -
yet never heard of such a scandal before Trump (can she appeal? get compensation?)Comment

btw there's a new one on the block who's even more befitting of a nickname like Mussolini: RudolphMussolini]Giuliani the italian fascist & former mayor who turned NY into a fascist lab experiment in the 90s (a big fan of both Trump & Bush jr. who would've guessed)Comment

What does that have to do with Trump? We've had controls established on fruits/vegetables and other food products for decades.Originally posted by SoulReaver View Post
Or do you retroactively blame Trump for everything?Comment

Yes, I'm sure she will attempt to appeal, but as Annoyed said...the rules have been on the books long before Mango Mussolini groped, grabbed, and conned himself to power. As I tell my own kid, ignorance of the law doesn't mean you're exempt from following it.Originally posted by SoulReaver View Post

Without commenting on their (apparent) decision to allow Trump's travel bans to stand, haven't these guys learned not to telegraph their move to their enemies?
Supreme Court appears ready to uphold Trump's travel ban
This decision is likely to touch off a firestorm of controversy. Why would they want to rattle the cages beforehand?Comment

yeah man $500 for an apple is a light sentenceOriginally posted by Annoyed View Post
imagine the damage she could've done with it
btw technically Delta Airlines was an accessory to the crime since they gave her the apple they should be fined too - ho wait it's a multi billion$ company so they're innocent nvm
less risky to pick on people who have an apple in their bag than to pick on real criminals like terrorists (or corporate billionaires who dodge taxes. talk about apples & "oranges")
btw anyone who who that coward POS customs officer is? so we can repost his name & mug all over the web (his home address too)Comment

And yet again, no. The airline provided the apple while outside the United States, presumably for consumption on the flight. They broke no US law.Originally posted by SoulReaver View Postyeah man $500 for an apple is a light sentence

The only lawbreaker was the woman, who failed to declare the apple. Yes, it was a stupid mistake. But stupidity has consequences. Perhaps, if in general, more people had to pay the consequences of their stupid mistakes, we would have fewer stupid mistakes?
Why do you wish to take action against the customs officer? He was simply doing his job. Or is anyone who enforces the law a "coward POS" in your eyes? You do realize that in order to have a society, you have to have laws, right? And that having laws requires people to enforce those laws, right?Last edited by Annoyed; 25 April 2018, 05:49 PM.Comment

Well...stop the world from spinnin' and let me off! I never thought I'd would say this, but I have to agree with Annoyed here.Originally posted by Annoyed View Post
The customs officer was upholding the law that he swore to enforce. That is sortta like at my school. Kids aren't supposed to wear ripped jeans. I don't care if it is last period or first...if a kid comes to my room with ripped jeans..I send them to the discipline office. I always like the excuse, "But no one said anything." I always tell them, "I'm saying something now."
Since the airline provided the apple, I wonder where they got it? I know I wouldn't think to declare an apple that I received on the flight. Did I get it in France or where ever I was traveling? No. I got it on the airplane.sigpicComment

and they let a passenger carrying dangerous illegal cargo into the US! that plane should've either destroyed theOriginally posted by Annoyed View Postbombdrugsapple before entering US territory or turned around while that apple was still around
so there was wrongdoing on their part
exactly remember to be careful not to have a snack in ur bag everyone knows this can have yuge consequences. I mean who goes around with a snack in their bagYes, it was a stupid mistake. But stupidity has consequences. Perhaps, if in general, more people had to pay the consequences of their stupid mistakes, we would have fewer stupid mistakes?
common sense 101
it's at their discretion he could've chosen to give her a simple reminderWhy do you wish to take action against the customs officer? He was simply doing his job.
you know like the SS in your country choose not to fine each other when they catch an offduty colleague speeding or something
or at least give her a symbolic fine, punishment fitting the crime if that rings a bell
funny how with the neocons "the law is the law" only applies to the commonfolk
yeah man how can a society function normally if apples are legalOr is anyone who enforces the law a "coward POS" in your eyes? You do realize that in order to have a society, you have to have laws, right?
common sense 102
and the Gestapo were also just doing their job right?And that having laws requires people to enforce those laws, right?
and those in the Reich who didn't know they'd to wear a yellow star were criminals too right?
and the "I waz chust followink orders!" line at the Nuremberg trials was also a valid argument right?Comment
