there is reason to  worry about the  pests crossing  into  the  country or 
across state lines...
 
 
our citrus crops are being now  killed off!
 
The bacterial disease huanglongbing is carried by tree  sap-eating Asian 
citrus psyllids, or jumping plant lice, which spread the feared  plague.

That was  what CA was interested in. I had over 10 Halliburton cases of
electronics.  They were only interested in the carry-on agricultural stuff.

Maybe  they had a point. Some years earlier, a friend and I were at White

put it  in his luggage on the way to the airport.

When he got home and opened  his bag, about a zillion critters were all
over the place. Everything in  the bag had to be washed or thrown in  the
trash.
