And I’m certain I’ve ranted about this before, on this website started a year after the Bushwhacking brought us the TSA and public groping for anyone who’s ever had a hip replacement, but one of the most depressing things about “homeland security” “keeping us safe” is what it’s done to artisanal food tourism. You’re walking through a market in Montreal (or Torino or CDMX) and you now just skip the aisles with any bottled products cuz you can’t bring ‘em home if they’re more than half a cup unless you check your bag for $35 or more. So many tastes perdu, so many small entrepreneurs screwed. The Big Food terrorists really did win.
