Imagine if quarantine officers were actually experienced in horticulture and botanically savvy - their 'good old fashioned judgement' would be a whole lot more reliable and appropriate than any inescapable official procedure or protocol. But still - they would have to be permitted first by legislation to exercise their judgement.
