In my best Foghorn Leghorn voice imitation, “It was a joke son. A joke.” Just as much as any attempt to control a black market of goods could be. Irony is being stopped at the California border and having a drone ask if I have fruits or vegetables in my vehicle when California seems to be loaded with both.

What was always funny about the med-fly checkpoints is that the bordering states couldn’t just check traffic from CA (violates equal protection). So they had to checkpoint every border. Which is a big part of why AZ dropped it.
