I’ve never brought fruit into the US from overseas.
There are laws against it.
She was given the apple on the plane, did not feel like eating it then and threw it in her carry-on. She wasn’t exactly smuggling agricultural goods.
The airline should have reminded, or not given the snack out so late.
Every thread needs some virtue signalling.
“I’ve never brought fruit into the US from overseas. There are laws against it.”
Pinch your nose shut and say it out loud. It’ll give that statement the proper tone.
I've come back into the US with food given me on the airline, partially eaten or saved for remainder of the trip. Harassing people over that is ridiculous. I think I've declared things and never had problem. Surely TSA has more to worry about than someone bringing a single apple with them.
“asked if she could throw it away or eat it”
The law is a ass.
Someone in a uniform likes having the power to make others submit.
“I’ve never brought fruit into the US from overseas.”
Neither did this woman. The airline is the guilty party here.
So where do you think the apple cores go?
Should they not be subject to fines?
Not that you’ll have the fortitude to even attempt an answer.
