Flute virtuoso Boujemaa Razgui: ‘JFK Customs destroyed 11 of my instruments’


‘JFK Customs destroyed 11 of my instruments’
December 31, 2013 by Norman Lebrecht

A few minutes ago, we reached the flute virtuoso Boujemaa Razgui by phone to discuss the assault on his instruments by US Customs at JFK airport.

A Canadian citizen, based in New York and with a green card employment permit, Bouzemaa was flying home from Marrakech, Morocco, when his baggage was opened by Customs at JFK.

‘I told them I had these instruments for many years and flew with them in and out,’ he said. ‘There were 11 instruments in all. They told me they were agricultural products and they had to be destroyed. There was nothing I could do. The new flute can be made with bamboo. Is that agricultural?’

Bouzemaa was both upset and unwilling to risk a confrontation with the US authorities. We did not press him for further particulars. He does not know what to do next. But he does appear to be the victim of state injustice. What do the lawyers among our readers think he should do?

1. Not a lawyer but I'll bet his options are very limited.

And not worth the cost of representation.

My guess is that there's a statutory limit on liability for luggage damaged by TSA just as there is when it's the airline's fault (unless you pay extra).

Second, who wants to go up against the US government in a civil suit, especially the TSA?

Poor man. But to an ag inspector, they were made of bamboo and there are pests that like bamboo, I suppose.

9. This was not TSA

This was US Customs, different agency, and it is no man's land.

The nutcase tries to bait Barry into a kerfunkle, while displaying her command of Yiddish:

14. Customs is not screening. It is while crossing

That border. It has zero to do with TSA, which is in the United States.

The major problem he has is that this happened in the nebulous land of not in the US quite yet.

Yes, he was having a talk, with a US Customs officer who was doing an agricultural check, same guys and gals who will destroy that expensive genoa salami you decided to bring home from Italy, the same guys and gals I declare my Mexican candy every time I go visit.

They have Butkus to do with TSA beyond maybe being part of DHS.

And she got this from where? There is no buffer zone around our country.

It's not possible that cousin IT is wrong about something.

When I first saw that post over at the DUmp I thought the man was a real musician and the flutes were real instruments.

But I read on...

[GOBUCKS]

It has Butkus to do with music.

This guy is fictional.

Zamfir is the master of the pan flute.

[Skul]

Kpete is master of the tube-flute. 
Several members of the DUmp are masters.
