Eggs are eggs except bringing eggs already cooked would require refrigeration (shouldn't be left out more than 2 hours) and would stink.
The hard cooked eggs in Germany sit out at room temperature for days and nobody I know that eats them has died yet.

"The little dogs are not primarily sniffing for food - although they will pick that up - they are primarily sniffing for drugs. If that isn't obvious you live in a different world."

They're not primarily sniffing for drugs. The canines are seeking foodstuffs and drugs and other illicit cargo.
The US is protecting its agrarian interests, just as Europe does and as Australia does (Aussie Customs had half a mind to lock me up after I copped to not eating an orange on the plane and having it in my bag - it was pre-9/11 so they just fussed at me). This should neither shock, enrage nor lead to ramblings of unfeigned pomposity coupled with bogus outrage on the part of any person who has traveled internationally.

It was a story in USA Today interviewing the agriculture specialist canine handler of one of the food sniffing dogs at JFK. I cited it just to point out that the dogs are there for the food, not primarily the drugs as was stated elsewhere on this thread.
