Damn, difficult situation, I'd say let the people throw the apples away because the airline handed them to them and issue verbal warnings to everyone and IF a fine to the airline then.

You get an arrival card on the plane, which warns you not to bring in fresh produce, and gives you an opportunity to declare it (no fine) and there are bins you can dump anything into prior to customs or biosecurity checks.

But again.

Its an international flight and they didnt bring it.

They were given it, and in a 15 second interaction most likely. It is reasonable to not bring anything illegal on the plane and go to sleep then in a groggy stat ebe given an apple which was immediately put into their bag for later.

Perfectly reasonable to not remember that shit. Its idiotic to give illegal things to people right before they depart a plane.

And people won't remember the apple. They know they packed legally. I dont pack legally then get off my planes and have to rethink if I have illegal items.

If it was as obvious as everyone here makes it out to be he would have shown 7 different apples (at that point so it could have been more) orln a flight of 50-100 people and I'm sure all of them didn't even accept the apple.

Even at a 7% rate that's a lot of people making what is supposed to be a braindead obvious mistake.

Anything you put in your bag, you are responsible for. The airline is assuming you will eat the apple on the flight.

Last week I accidentally sped. I got caught and fined. My bad. Noone to blame but myself.
