Customs officials destroy virtuoso flautist’s 11 instruments because they were ‘agricultural products’

Quote:

A flute virtuoso was returning to New York via John F. Kennedy Airport when Customs officials confiscated and destroyed the instruments he was carrying with him. According to Boujemaa Razgui, the officials told him that his 11 flutes — each of which he had constructed, by hand, himself — “were agricultural products and had to be destroyed.”

This is hard to understand. Razgui, a Canadian, says he has gone through U.S. Customs many times before with his instruments and never had a problem. Shall we chalk it up to brainless thugs enforcing idiotic laws?
