    Although I haven't seen a Fed walking through, I have done the
    walkthrough (along with other Board members) for a few tradeshows
    that required items to be handmade only. I have personally pulled
    items from the show, and know of other people who also pulled items
    from sale because they did not meet the strict definition as
    established by the specific group. So it can, and does happen, just
    not very frequently.
