Protect Ourselves from Ourselves Janet Kuypers 7/20/12 Apparently now you’re allowed to bring snow globes onto airplanes in the States (even though they contain liquid), as long as they fit the required regulated sizes for liquid allowances on airplanes in America. But if you enter the States from Canada and they catch you with German Kinder chocolate eggs (chocolates with a toy inside), they’ll confiscate your contraband (I don’t know, maybe they think it’s a health hazard). I heard that if you want your chocolates back, you can fill out seventeen pages of paperwork, go back to the port and pay the six hundred fifty dollar holding fee, so you can have your six dollar chocolates back. So really, because the world wants to attack our wealth and successes, does that mean our government has to do everything in it’s power to restrict us, and to protect ourselves from ourselves?
