Does that mean that from now on I am going to be thoroughly screened every time I come back? Does anybody know if there are any repercussions?
Thanks.
I don't think they care that much about meat. They are more interested in fruits and other produce which might carry fruit flies and similar dangers to US agriculture.
I hope you didn't blow your chance to enroll in Global Entry, which is the best thing since sliced bread.
