Originally posted by LtColCarter View PostAs much as I'd like to blame this on Mango Mussolini...those laws are from the US Customs Dept.

As I tell my own kid, ignorance of the law doesn't mean you're exempt from following it.

(really tempted to go full Godwin) don't forget to add "except if you belong to one of the elite classes"
Here is the law on such things:

You must declare all food products. Failure to declare food products can result in up to $10,000 in fines and penalties.

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?

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)

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.

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.sigpic

Originally posted by LtColCarter View PostWell...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. 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."

Originally posted by Annoyed View PostThe airline provided the apple while outside the United States, presumably for consumption on the flight.bombdrugsapple before entering US territory or turned around while that apple was still around
so there was wrongdoing on their part

common sense 101
Why 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
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?
common sense 102
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?
