Seattle men busted at the border with illegal candy | They bought Kinder Eggs.
The chocolate eggs, which aren't available in America, come with a toy inside. Without thinking much of it, the duo picked up six of the eggs before heading home. "We packed it in the back of the car because we weren't going to eat them," Loo said. When they got to the border, the guards began searching the car and soon found the eggs. "He said, 'Are you aware Kinder Eggs are illegal in the United States and carry a $2,500 fine per egg?'

Your Say

Seattle hipsters, no doubt. Trying to fence the eggs for triple the price tag. When Bernie takes office, these kind will be summarily executed for lesser offenses than this. Border problems? You bet!

I smuggled two cases of Cuban cigars back from Cuba in 1993. I should still be in jail and $40,000 poorer.

MATS pilot '50s-'60s. "Came back" 2-4 times a month. We had a deal with Customs and Ag - we didn't smuggle anything and they never searched us. They were courteous enough to come out to the airplane and clear the crew. Most of them were WW2 survivors. To make sure it kept working, the old heads passed the message to the new heads and helped them make sure they were clean. Honor system, since discarded I hear.
