What has got me riled a few times is the Invasive Water Species check points. We sometime pack out kayaks on trips. They don't have any enclosed areas. Just a big open plastic shell.
There's checkpoints at rest areas and you're required to stop.
It could be twice in one day in the same state.
Really annoying especially when you don't plan on using the kayaks in that state. And if you do you still have to get inspected at the lake even after two inspections prior in the same state.
A visual inspection for such things on a watercraft is a total joke and waste of time. It's nothing more than a Government sponsored feel good measure like a firewood quarantine.
I have yet to see them inspect the feet or feathers of migrating Canadian or Snow Geese looking for a single living cell of Rock Snot or Golden Alga, you know, those millions of honkers that honk their way from lake to lake, stream to stream every year Spring and Fall. I also have never seen a Fish and Game guy take a stool sample from one looking for fertilized eggs from Snakeheads or Quagga Mussels, but maybe they do.
