MCALLEN, TEXAS (AP) -- McALLEN, Texas (AP) - Starting tomorrow, people entering the

U.S. from Mexico will have to leave behind a favorite snack. Pork

rinds will be seized at the border unless carriers produce a

certificate issued by the national government where the snacks

originated. U.S. officials say undercooked pork rinds could carry

an illness that affects pigs.
