Four years ago the customs agents made the nice Iranian family ahead of us throw out quite a bit of caviar.
This summer, though, on my flight from Bangalore a customs agent at SFO walked around the carousel asking people (in Hindi, Punjabi, and English!) whether they had jeera, fruits, and some other things. If he was satisfied, you didn't even need to fill out the customs form; he signed off in green marker on your form and customs waved you through. Never seen that happen before.
