Before all you government haters start venting your spleen, remember that transporting invasive species is a big deal and their spread is a big deal.

Yes but this does not pass the cost/benefit test.  Requiring this of someone who is just travelling through MN?  The threat from that is miniscule compared to the cost. making this a requirement for people just travelling through the state is like banning people from spitting in the ocean because it causes pollution.
