Massachusets State Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill and his family were detained at Logan Airport for over an hour when Customs officials discovered that one of his daughters was carrying contraband in the form of 3 peaches. Predictably, the agents were rude and unreasonable, and Cahill was told that he had to immediately pay a $300 fine or spend the night in jail. Could he appeal the fine? The officials wouldn't say.

To his enormous credit, Cahill didn't try to wiggle out of the situation by telling the officials that he was the Treasurer. He endured the process as any other citizen would. And now he's pissed.
