Kicking Your a$$ and getting away with it.

A few years ago, US Customs confiscated our commercially-prepared, hermetically-sealed microwaveable bags of cochinita pibil and refried beans with chorizo - "due to the swine flu outbreak in Mexico".

I interpret this as the border control person likely having just suffered a case of terminal flatulence due to improperly cooked beans, and so that day had an irrational hatred on for all things Mexican. Definitely an abuse of authority. All you can do is grit your teeth, close your eyes, & lay back and think of Los Gatas Beach and that first beer of the day.
