While we're on this topic...
I have received personal attention from and personal correspondence from the Department of Homeland Security. So, in case you wonder how your taxes are being spent by those who are protecting our well-being, let me clue you in.
I had a seizure - no, not that kind! I was endangering the country by ordering a carton of cigarettes from Andorra. (Never mind why - not relevant here.) I received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security saying they had seized my carton of cigarettes. I was instructed that I would need to fill out certain forms available from any of their offices and pay the duty on the carton of cigarettes and then I could have them. Or, alternatively, I could just forfeit them. I saved you a bunch of money by forfeiting them.
My first thought is how much did it cost for someone to monitor this, ferret out the offending carton, sieze it, warehouse it, pass along this information to another office where this letter was composed and passed along to a superior for approval, I'm sure, and then send it to me?
And here you thought the Department was not doing its job protecting you!
So, don't be afraid, there's not a snowball's chance in hell of a dangerous $13.00 carton of cigarettes attacking you.
