Could we really have stopped those (fire ants), with everything we do, Sage.  
I heard on the news, recently, that 1/3 of 1 % of all shipping containers are 
presented for any kind of search.  I thionk fire ants came in port on a boat.

  Africanized bees came to (arizona anyway) from South America.  some of 
lyndas's ancestors might say that my ancestors were a pestilence that arrived 
by boat . But they could not stop it anyway.

 I don't mind your friend stopping me at the border of texas and asking me if 
I have fruits are vegetables (or fire ants).  I 'do' mind if that same friend 
is wearing a gun, asking my id ,and recording my info. 

 I like local, non-centralized.  I trust texas, over D.C., and tex. is far 
from perfect.  By the way, didn't fire ants come in at biloxi or asomewhere?
