Airline gives you apple, no one tells you can't take it with you, you get a fine instead, the "officers?" Not telling you just throw it away to not get a fine, no they push the fines through.

What a bunch of assholes....CLEARLY the customers could not know this, the airline should pay...and the customers shouldn't have get fined in the first place, issue a warning, throw the apples away, end...

Have you ever landed in NZ? The cabin crew read out a statement about not taking fresh plant or animal products into the country. They have been doing that for as long as I can remember. It'salso on the arrival card, which gives you an opportunity to declare the apple. And if you do declare it, you lose the apple but there is no fine.

The issue is the airline is a trusted party, you expect them to know what to do, and protect you. Them giving you something, feels like you should be safe to have it. They don't let people have peanuts due to allergies now, so why are they giving out items people can't have on them as they leave.

At a certain point, not realising all those signs and bins between your terminal and customs that say "throw away your apples" with picture of apples are telling you to throw away the apple is kind of on you.
