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? .....bobf

God knows I wish someone had turned away that shipment of fire ants. :-/
I've been involved in a bit of my own homeland security
this morning, namely cleaning the stove and its netherlands.
