OMG, instead of worrying about terrorists coming into our country they're spending money and vital manpower looking for flowers. WTF??
Just in time for Valentine's Day: Feds Seize Thousands of Illegal Roses in Miami
MIAMI -- U.S. border authorities have seized thousands of roses imported from Colombia and Ecuador that were grown or distributed without royalties or other fees being paid on brands with trademarks, officials said.
Authorities said they had destroyed 79 boxes of illegal flowers during the pre-Valentine's Day surge, each with 125 to 200 stems, or likely more than 10,000 roses since late January.
``And we're still looking,'' Jeffrey Baldwin, port director for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at Miami International Airport, said Thursday.
