No Yanking of tendrils or any other appendage. Only once in all my travels have I encountered a FA who seemed to make it a mission to have passengers fill out the form. He came down the aisle like he was auditioning for a Broadway play. Uggh.
I should be clear that I think it important that all travelers to Hawaii know the rules so that invasive species don't land on our shores. To that end, completing the form helps ensure that the unwary traveler complies with conditions of entry.
