on our return from europe a few weeks ago, we declared we were bringing back some cheese as we do every year....everything seemed fine until the agent locked our passports in a bright yellow case, and directed us to the bowels of DFW for additional inspection....we were asked several questions about visiting farms and whatnot, and then put our bags through a special scanner....but never asked us to open the bags...10 minutes later we were on our way to our connection

and AA also impressed us on the leg from dallas to houston, a short 35 minute flight, we were actually served 2 rounds of drinks while waiting for take-off...any alcoholic beverage was available, not just the crappy tiny glass of "sparkling wine" they've been offering on international pre-flights
