The tangled intersection of international laws is enforced through a thicket of paperwork. Recent revisions to 1900's Lacey Act require that anyone crossing the U.S. border declare every bit of flora or fauna being brought into the country. One is under "strict liability" to fill out the paperwork—and without any mistakes.Where do ya think you're goin with that thar woodwind, boy!?! You got any papers with that?
This article is very telling. On one hand, you have over zealous government officials conducting raids in the name of draconian environmental regulations, and on the other hand you have musicians - who do more than there share of concocting said draconian regulations - whining and reviling over the injustice of the same regulations. Hmmm.

Good point. And when carbon emission rationing comes about, these will be the same people complaining and wanting an exemption... which they'll likely get if Democrats are around.
