Send 'em to jail for undersized lobster tails.
This commentary, via SCOTUS, discusses the prudence of the effort to imprison a seafood importer for, among other crimes against humanity, placing lobster tails in plastic bags rather than cardboard boxes; and importing lobster tails that were shorter than 5.5 inches.

The case is McNab v. United States (03-622). The government's brief supporting McNab's conviction is available here.
