Not the Custom

I empathize with the Tognazzinis (Letters, March 24) in their experience with U.S. Customs. I have said several times that I am ashamed to go through customs because I buy so little (usually around $50 worth). I haven’t had any problems; they just look a little doubtful, as when I returned from Loreto last year without buying anything. What must get a laugh from a lot of people is the question, “Are you bringing more than $10,000 in cash with you?”
