26. It's NOT about being an "illegal" ... it's about the War on (Some) Drugs.

The only question I have is one of equity. That's like confiscating a driver's car for speeding. If he'd be permitted to take it across the border upon filling out a form, then the notion that whatever amount is being taken is itself confiscated is inequitable.

This is clearly a creature of the War On (Some) Drugs ... targeting the drug cartels. Only I doubt it has the impact of a flea on an elephant's ass to them - they have far more sophisicated ways around this.
