Not unless something has been done specially for SWA... that's my question.

(I think you mean flying west you're not subject to it?)

Yes, there's an additional Ag inspection when transferring from T1 (interisland) to T2 (overseas/main), because TSA agents in T1 don't specially look for seeds and fruit. They're just like TSA checkpoints on the mainland. On the other hand, in T2, the TSA agents are also looking for seeds and fruit in addition to their standard duties.

I think so. That's why I have this question.
