which shall have been used’’ to eliminate unnecessary
words. The words ‘‘coin, obligation, or other security
referred to in clause (3) of this subsection’’ are sub-
stituted for ‘‘such falsely made, forged, altered, or
counterfeit coin or obligation or other security’’ be-
cause of the restatement.
In subsection (a)(5), the text of 49 App.:787(g) is omit-
ted as unnecessary because the term ‘‘cigarettes’’ does
not appear in 49 App.: ch. 11 and because the definition
of ‘‘contraband cigarettes’’ referred to is part of 18:ch.
114.
In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words ‘‘A per-
son may not’’ are substituted for ‘‘It shall be unlawful’’
for consistency in the revised title. In clause (1), the
word ‘‘transport’’ is substituted for ‘‘transport, carry,
or convey’’ because it is inclusive. In clause (2), the
words ‘‘or upon the person of anyone in or upon any
vessel, vehicle, or aircraft’’ are omitted as unnecessary.
In clause (3), the word ‘‘transportation’’ is substituted
for ‘‘transportation, carriage, conveyance’’ for consist-
ency in this section. The word ‘‘barter’’ is omitted as
being included in ‘‘exchange’’.
