Good point. Last time I left the country and returned, US customs law allowed tax-free importation of 200 cigarettes.
I guess we'd have to be restricted to two cartons everytime we entered and left tribal lands.

There's that, and I think that any state that tried to pull a "Customs" check, with an "Import Tax" would be slapped down pretty darn hard by the feds, since it is a power enumerated to the feds, and the feds alone...
Also, what is REALLY cracking me up is the fact that all Pataki will do with this venture is put non-indian people out of work. Among the mohawk (my people) in New York, there are quite a large number of non-indians who hold jobs in stores, professional positions working for the gov't etc... who would be put out of work by this taxation attempt. That Pataki - smart guy.
