Happy Pest-Free Valentine's Day!

Nothing would ruin Valentine's Day more than giving your sweetheart a bouquet of flowers infested with insects, pests and diseases, right? Well, not to worry. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is on the job, inspecting plants at ports of entry. In 2006, CBP agriculture specialists in Miami processed more than 21 trillion stems of imported flowers, while their colleagues in New York and Los Angeles handled 625 billion and 127 billion, respectively.
