Illegal Bologna Smuggling

Gee, first it was illegal aliens, then it was illegal narcotics, now people are trying to smuggle bologna across the border.

How did someone think that a border agent wouldn't notice the 756 lb car seat in the back of the truck, even with the kids sitting on it? Are they really so unimpressed with our border security that they think that they can smuggle over a third of a ton of bologna without getting caught?

I can understand the Customs point that the bologna was potentially dangerous. After all who would want to eat bologna that little kids had been sitting on (in addition to the refrigeration issues)? But why are they only going after the guy civilly? What not find some way to charge him with something like endangerment?

We're now smuggling bologna. What's next?
