Is it something in the water?

C&P from a comment in a current Toronto newspaper article:

Two years ago when a US border guard threatened to deny us access to Port Huron AND fine us some $350.00, for attempting to "smuggle" an orange that we'd forgotten was in a lunch pail in the trunk of our car...

When I tried to explain to him that the orange probably came from Florida in the first place, and that it was not like we were trying to bring-in a Canadian grown apple, or anything like that, what he fired back at me---quite serious, and resolute---absolutely shocked & awed both of us in the car...

"SIR, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT APPLES, BUT THIS HERE ORANGE IS A DIRECT THREAT TO THE SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!"
