CBP site shows DEA numbers.

Finally, one says "DEA is not responsible, call DHS."

DHS tells me to call TSA.

TSA tells me to call customs (no answer, website says call DEA).

I call international airport, they say call TSA!

I guess that is called "Big Government"

I will call later in evening, maybe then they will not be busy and someone will know what to say.

Wait, I thought TSA is under DHS? Same with CP. I would think DHS should have the answer...

O wait.. traveling to the United States.. where the left hand does not talk to the right hand.
