Guess it's been a long time you've been across the 49th parallel?

Canada and U.S. both have high restrictions on bringing in veggies, plants, fruits, flowers, etc. across the border. I have been on buses and trains where passengers were abit paranoid plus the inspection authorities that one had to chomp away at their apple. Extreme situation.

Or at least discard their bag of fresh cherries before crossing the border.

It's been awhile since I've crossed the Canada-U.S. border in a car (abnormal eh? We live less than 45 kms. north of the border)...so maybe people sneak in stuff ..but can't see how that's possible with border authorities' ability to get at the drugs stashed away in all sorts of wierd places.
