Stealth cows

Cattle are big. Cattle are smelly. Cattle are ponderous. None of this seems to have stopped hundreds of the bovine beasts slipping past "government safeguards" and getting into the US from Canada without the proper documentation. According to the Chicago Tribune (reg. req'd.) cattlemen from Washington state have got their hands on correspondence between meat companies and government officials which seem to indicate that the tracking systems are breaking down.

And they won't let me give blood in the US because I've lived in the UK for too long. Ha!
