My wife's book group is reading "Lolita" and they came across a passage about the pair driving through Arizona and California, where at the border "a policeman's cousin would peer with such intensity at us....[and ask] Any honey?"
    Do any of you know whether there were such inspections 40 years ago and if so, what would they be looking for?   Or is this just part of Nabokov's imagination?
