特别是红色部分。 Well, maybe it wasn't they said and they just lied to you, or maybe the inspector made a mistake. I wouldn't doubt either one at this stage of the game. The audacity of some people and the lack of integrity is amazing. I, and my colleagues, will ask a person, DO YOU HAVE ANY FOOD? HOW ABOUT ANY FRUIT, SEEDS, PLANTS, VEGETABLES, MEAT, OR MEAT PRODUCTS? HOW ABOUT ANYTHING MADE FROM A BIRD, SWINE, OR COW? The passenger says "NO!" They get referred. I walk back to the inspection station. Open their bag, pull out apples, mangos, sausage, fatback, all kinds of stuff. I ask them "Do you remember me, I asked you about the food?" They say: "Well it is vacummed packed!" Or, "Oh, I forgot!"
Yeah, they say "I forgot" as I pull the sausage from their purse where their declaration and passport is in the way of the documents they used to clear the first line before they even spoke to me. Or, "did you read this book on the plane?" The passenger says "of course I did, it is a bestseller...I am sure you never heard of it!" We then say "well, did you happen to see the giant orange right next to it? Why didn't you declare it?" "Uhhh, well, no...I didn't know it was there." Come on! You had a chance to write it down. You didn't. You had a chance to orally declare when I asked you. You didn't. Now, you try and rationalize what you did was wrong was actually right? The whole job sours you on humanity. It really does. The amount of lies that spews forth is amazing. Top six: Oh, my mom packed my bags, she must have slipped it in (try that with herorin, that will get you far). Oh, it is for the baby. Oh, well it is only an orange (FULL OF CANKER!)! It is vacummed packed so I didn't declare it. It isn't meat, it is sausage. I just didn't want to be inspected for something so trivial. You know, I understand the language barrier. I understand that you are tired and it is a long flight and you got another one to catch in 10 minutes. But, to straight up lie and then laugh and say "oh well, you can take it." is an insult. For god sakes, we now have the ability to not only seize your entire luggage for not declaring items, but to also bar you from entry into the US and send you back to the country you came from...even if you ARE a US Citizen! Why give us "permission" to seize an illegal item? 你知道,我理解语言会有障碍,我理解经过这个漫长的飞行你很疲惫并且在10分钟以后你有另一半飞机要赶。但是,吹了牛逼之后笑着说,好吧,你拿去吧,是一种侮辱。看在上帝的份上,我们现在不仅能因你没有声明而扣留你的所有行李,我们还能让你哪来的回哪去,即使你是个美国人! The best is when they say "I am sure you are hungry, go ahead and enjoy it." That is tantamount to telling a state trooper who stopped you for speeding "wow, you must be soooo bored to have stopped me for speeding 85 in a 25 mph school zone, but go ahead... have your fun with your little power trip...go ahead...you can do it." UGH! you can see what kind of reaction that could get you. Anyway, just declare your food. The last list I want to leave you with: What amazes so many people about us:
A lot of inspectors are educated to at least a BSc. A lot have waited 3 years in a long line to get the job. We care about what happens to the ag industry of the US. We make about $65K a year while doing a 40 hour work week. We are not idiots. We give you every chance to amend.
