>>>it is due to special food/diet restictions<<<
That doesn't make sense. Fresh fruit is fresh fruit. An orange in Europe is no different than an orange in the US (ditto other fruits). Canned tuna is canned tuna although you do find more olive oil packed tuna in Europe. Eggs are eggs except bringing eggs already cooked would require refrigeration (shouldn't be left out more than 2 hours) and would stink.

This is, however, mere stupidity:
<<However, we have better things to do with our money than waste it on silly little dogs sniffing us in case we're carrying an orange, or pay armed police to interrogate us about whether chocolates contain milk powder. We leave that kind of Government bullying to "freedom loving" Americans.>>

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.

There are dogs who sniff for drugs, there are dogs who sniff for food and there are dogs who sniff for large amounts of cash. There are also dogs who sniff for explosives.
