Spegepølserne går desværre ikke:
"Meats, Livestock, and Poultry
The regulations governing meat and meat products are very strict. You
may not import fresh, dried, or canned meats or meat products from
most foreign countries into the United States. Also, you may not
import food products that have been prepared with meat."
Men småkagerne går nok:
"Food Products (Prepared)
You may bring bakery items and certain cheeses into the United States.
The APHIS web site features a Travelers Tips section and Game and
Hunting Trophies section that offers extensive information about
bringing food and other products into the country. Many prepared foods
are admissible. However, almost anything containing meat products,
such as bouillon, soup mixes, etc., is not admissible. As a general
rule, condiments, vinegars, oils, packaged spices, honey, coffee and
tea are admissible. Because rice can often harbor insects, it is best
to avoid bringing it into the United States."

Der er ingen, der vil checke noget i Kastrup, det sker først i
lufthavnen i San Francisco. Tolderne bruger hunde (beagles), som er
specielt trænede i at finde madvarer. De går rundt mellem folk, når de
henter deres bagage. Jeg har set dem mange gange.
