Agreed! But I usually check carefully about what I can bring back. I remember once bringing back a jar of a tomato product that had 'nduja in it, knowing meat from some places is a big no-no, and practically blurting out “I have meat!” at customs, only to be cut off and asked a very specific question that seemed designed to keep me from confessing anything. I’m a terrible liar! I don’t even try.
OTOH, my bag gets opened without fail, with a little note left, when I’m traveling within the US.
