If you have California plates, which I'm gussing you do, it's highly likely you'll just get waved through. That's simply a matter of them selecting the vehicles most likely to be bringing in fruits/plants from out of state. If they saw an ice chest in your car and you had out of state plates, it would likely be a different story.
Clearly, the system could be fixed by making everyone remove their shoes as part of the check.
Don't give 'em any ideas.
