Correct. Didn't mean to imply they didn't. Invasive insects from other parts of the US have long been a problem for Ca agricultural. I meant only to illustrate what was probably the worst of the insect infestations (as far as I've heard anyway), and that the inspection stations were very important then.
If a new batch of any insect threatens our agricultural as bad as back then, you'll see more stringent inspections compared to the relative ease of getting through one now.
My post was also countering the "Ca has too many regulations" posts. It does. WAY too many. But this isn't one of the bad ones. This one has been very necessary at different times throughout our history.
