wait, let me get this straight...
a guy gets busted doing something that we all KNOW is illegal.....he starts whinging about having to pay a huge fine....and you guys are talking about him like HE is the victim.
there's no constitutional question here, you subject yourself to search when you attempt to(re)enter the country.
good lord people, this guy simply got caught. he's not blameless here, he's the criminal!
this is the risk you take when buying these things, if you get caught and an enormous fine is imposed, it's YOUR damn fault....not the government's....
come on people, if you want to play in this game, you forfeit the right to complain about getting caught.
