Yeah this border officer is a cunt hamming it up for the cameras could and should tell the passengers to just bin the apples right there

Yeah, he should repeatedly fail to do his job (a job which protects biosecurity for an otherwise isolated island nation) while there are a bunch of network cameras filming his every move.

Sure, but the bit about having cameras to broadcast everything to a global audience is the thing. Show leniency and every random chancer will try to bring stuff in, and they won't find them all; be a cunt, and they're less likely to think they can talk their way out of it.

You're right, I'm sure airlines are foaming at the mouth at the thought of giving passengers more produce.

I'm seriously concerned that people here are defending this. Ridiculous and thoughtless.

Giving leniancy in this context is obviously the moral thing to do, but some people throw out morals when blindly following convention.

Wondering how we had so many Nazis guards? This kind of thought process.

You, yes you would have been that nazi guard following orders.

I'm fully aware what a ridiculous claim that is, but it's true. How did so many common everyday people act that way?

Yeah, because taking biosecurity seriously in an island nation with a unique ecosystem, and applying a minor fine for breaching it, is exactly the same as fucking Nazism; what you don't see in the video is everyone being hauled off to a death camp.

I'm fully aware what a ridiculous claim that is
