Not a "Dulles" traveler. A traveler from Ghana. WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY? "Spiritual" purposes" indeed. Anthrax-laced soil and plant material, at the least. God knows what was in the blood on the sheets. Hemorrhagic disease probably. The "main consequence" is that he should have been sent back to his native hell hole.

So what did they do with him?
If they catch you with grapefruit on the California border, you have the option of sitting down and eating all of them, or giving them up to be burned immediately.
They are trying to keep certain fruit flies out of California. The mountains are a natural border and man brings them across.
This joker needs to sit down and eat all that stuff or go back to where ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smuggling potentially dangerous biological items.
Lying to TSA about the contents.
Violating the Endangered Species Act.
Penalty? Well, they took his suitcase.
My feeling is that if I were to violate any law in the slightest way, they'd put me in prison as fast as they could. I'm just a second class citizen here.

Well, yeah. So arrest this guy. Are Americans the only ones required to support engangered wildlife? An elephant is just as dead no matter who kills him.

The tails violated the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. Time out! Violating the US Code is indeed a crime - try to violate an IRS regulation or a USDA regulation. The penalties can be stiff for US citizens.
Sorry, but what if he had tried to bring over raw milk? Penalties go way beyond confiscation and a bad mark on your permanent record. Ask any of the raw milk dairy farmers.
It looks like the DC TSA has "elected" not to bother with this case, since it might cause them to work.
Of course, if I was not a citizen I could plead ignorance of the law ...
