Border Security Pwnage

and don't forget almonds contain arsenic.
I don't know how many you have to eat in order to actually get poisoned, but iirc "bitter almond" is what it's suppose to taste like.

but the cure apparently is ... ginger beer (consumed and worn), walnuts (for the protein), anchovies (for the salt - but not pure salt cos that's too salty), and a kiss from a friend (for the shock value)

It's only what they're carrying. One of the cases here involved someone bringing a packet of salami slices over from another country, but they couldn't take it in. So instead, they got out their crackers and cheese and had a little snack right in the airport.

When I was visiting Darwin, NT, Australia, I went on a biking tour of waterfalls. I don't quite know where we went but we had to cross some sort of border where they checked every vehicle for illegal food items.

One guy had an apple but... it was wrapped so they let it pass.

Was that one of the more recent ones? if it was, then it sounds like Yahoo7 isn't restricted.

I actually watched it on YouTube, but I think in my searches I was able to get Yahoo7 to pull up as well.

More for my curiosity, but, what if someone ate, say, apple seeds (as an example) from a rare type of apple tree banned in Australia and then tried to enter the country? Would they be forced to vomit up the seeds before entering?

Anyone familiar enough with apples to want to bring in a rare variety wouldn't do that. Apples don't grow "true" from seed (i.e. the apples on the child tree won't be the same as those on the parent tree) - every apple tree of a "named" variety was grown from some random seed (for the root stock), then had a branch of the "named" variety grafted on (with the root stock's own "upper part" cut off as undesirable after the graft "took".
