    Agents Seize 316,000 Bongs Disguised as Christmas Ornaments

    Customs Agents Seize 316,000 Bongs Disguised as Christmas Ornaments

    Thursday, November 19, 2009

    LOS ANGELES — Customs officials say they got a surprise when they found 316,000 glass bongs disguised as Christmas ornaments at the Los Angeles harbor.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Thursday that agents found the highly decorated drug pipes in 860 boxes shipped from China. The cargo, estimated to be worth more than $2.6 million, had been described as glass figures and Christmas ornaments.

    The bongs were seized Tuesday at the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex.

    Customs spokeswoman Cristina Gamez says the importer remains under investigation and there have been no arrests.

    Their time would be better spent in my view seizing 316,000 illegal aliens instead of 316,000 "bongs".

    Manufacture, transportation, sales and possession of drug paraphernalia is illegal.
    That's why Santa can't make them here.

    OK. I just went and looke it up. Bongs are not illegal to buy or sell...or own. It is only if you use them to smoke something that is illegal. The illegal residue then re-classifys the pipe. But a clean bong? Not illegal. So...my question is.....why did they seize them? Why are they wasting time seizing something that is not illegal? FGS....this is one example why we have problems at the border.
