Woman fined $500 for saving free airplane snack from Delta

Crystal Tadlock told Fox 31 Denver, toward the end of her flight from Paris, flight attendants passed out apples in plastic bags as a snack. Tadlock put the fruit in her carry-on to save for when she was hungry during the second leg of her trip.

The problem is that customs is not going to take time to verify where the fruit came from. When we went on a cruise to the Bahamas we were told even fruit that we had gotten on board the ship could not be taken into the states. I think the same would apply for airline passengers.
