Choc and awe with Mark Steyn

You know, at least fellows like Mark Steyn keep us laughing during the seemingly imminent demise of the republic.  Read of his recent encounter with border agents here.

Apparently when he and his family attempted to cross into Vermont, his children were in possession of extremely dangerous items known as Kinder Eggs.  These are chocolate shells that house smaller plastic shells, which house small toys inside.  The agents confiscated them using federal guidance that states, in part:  “because they are a confectionery product with a non-nutritive object imbedded in it.”

Hmmm.  How long before they go after king cakes?

I love that his children asked if they could consume the chocolate in the presence of the guards, and then take the “imbedded” toys home separately.  This request was denied.

The system worked!
