I attended the Leeds University cooking conference in York last spring -
right at Easter - and managed to score and entire 5 kilo block of
marzipan from my very favorite York confectioner. He took it straight
out of the kitchen wrapped it in plastic wrap and tucked it in a large
plastic ziplock-type bad. I was VERY chuffed! I packed it in my
checked luggage and found notes from both the Brit and US security
people asking me if I were to pack something like this again to please
label it as foodstuffs. The marzipan had been opened and bits pulled
off the end - for testing, I imagine.
And -I- am willing to be that the Patriot Act DOES INDEED include a
paragraph to the effect that "you can destoy the property of anyone you
choose, just because..."
