pigs and diapers...


May 3, 6:49 PM (ET)


EL PASO, Texas (AP) - Border authorities inspecting a car crossing into the United States from Mexico uncovered an ordinary, but banned food item hiding in a strange place.

Customs and Border Protection officers and agriculture agents searching a man's car Sunday found 2 pounds of raw pork sausage. The meat was wrapped in foil inside two disposable baby diapers.

Bringing in pork is prohibited because the meat can harbor hog cholera.

The 27-year-old Colorado man had told the Zaragoza Bridge inspectors he had no fruits, meat or plants to declare.

Inspectors also found seven stalks of raw sugar cane, which is banned because it can carry a pest in its peel.

Authorities seized the items and the man was fined $250, officials said.
