With the "Terrorist threat assessment level" raised to "orange" or high risk, part of the governments response to this alert is that US Customs is ordered to take concrete steps to increase vigilance at the ports of entry. We can safely assume that US Customs is operating somehow differently today than they were a week ago. I wonder if this has any direct impact on overseas orders? Delays? Increased seizures? Decreased seizures due to agents who have more important things to worry about? It's an interesting topic.
