After saying it was macadamia nuts, he just laughed it off and sent me on my way.

Also, curious if YVR is set up different from YUL for food stuff. Instead of going to "real" secondary, at YVR there appears to be a special food/agriculture(?) area which was pretty dead. Had to surrender some fricken awesome beef/pork jerky from Macau once. But that time I think we went initially to an agent because the Nexus machines were down.
YVR has the food setup due to more flights and attempts to bring infood not permitted (meats) from Asia.

NEXUS holder should feel lucky if they are caught with illegal importation and not lose their NEXUS priviledges
