I thought everybody might be interested in this:
I went to the Post Office today to mail some Walkers crisps to Martina. When I was asked what was in the package i replied "packaged food". I was then told I needed to call the US Embassy and get an authorisation number, and write that on the package, otherwise it would be destroyed. Seems they're worried about terrorists sending poisioned food over  .
Now isn't that just a little bit too paranoid ?? 
Martina I'll call them on Monday  |

Hey Marcus,
Yes that does seem over paranoid. My mom sometimes sends me crisps, and she just rights on the custums form crisps, and she has never had a problem.
I appreciate it Marcus, but i dont think its worth going through all of that for me
