Choose an expletive, any expletive --!
Does that mean clarinet reeds are agricultural products, too? Will clarinet players arriving at JFK from other countries get their reeds taken? And what about wooden clarinets?

And agricultural implements are illegal because. . . ?
In the old westerns, the bad guys used to pack rifles in boxes with agricultural implements on top. Maybe if the guy had packed rifles on top of his flutes, the idiot would have let them through.

The world has gone mad.
In the UK we call these people 'Jobsworths'

I don't think the customs guy thought the wooden flutes were agricultural implements. He thought they were uninspected agricultural *products* -- plants. He thought bringing them into the country was like bringing in a bag of carrots or a seedling tree: something that might bring foreign pests to the USA. I've seen customs agents take food away from people, but FLUTES? Sheesh.

Personally I don't believe anything Norman Lebrecht (source of this story) writes any more
