A pig in a poke? No, pork in a truck

This is different.
Why would he do this? Pork is so darn cheap.


U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, says officers encountered a “different kind of contraband” at the border with Mexico.
Officers recently discovered 201 pounds of pork hidden in the engine compartment of a vehicle at the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge, the CBP stated in a news release this week.
The seizure on Wednesday, July 29, involved a 1980 Ford F-150 pickup truck driven by a 30-year-old male U.S. citizen traveling from Mexico, according to the agency.
The truck’s inspection came after the driver was not able to open the hood, CBP said. CBP agriculture specialists issued a $1,000 penalty for the undeclared commercial quantity of undeclared and prohibited pork products.
“Preventing the entry of harmful agricultural products is an integral aspect of America’s frontline,” Randy Howe, director of field operations in Laredo, said in the release.
