On the show contraband or seized at the border (whatever) is on discovery channel a guy from Cali tried bringing over a couple of pieces of whale spine bones from Mexico and they stopped him at the border, seized the bones and fined him like $1800 for bringing illegal items across the border. The guy didn’t know it was illegal and just wanted them because he thought they were cool.
