- Aussies are so cool. They have an amazing way of cutting through all the bullshit and just getting to the point. As an Aussie I'm biased though. Here's my latest airport customs story though. On my last flight back to Australia I was standing at the end of queue of about 50 people that had to go through checks to prevent mad cows disease getting in to Australia. This big customs fella appears next to me and says "are you Australian" when I said yeah he said "come with me". He walked me to another checking station, asked if I'd been on a farm overseas and when I said no he said "Welcome home mate" and let me through. It was like a pressure valve released. After 12 months backpacking, having to be careful all the time, I could finally relax back into the Aussie lifestyle where people know whether you're telling the truth by looking you in the eye and watching how you respond. I'll never forget him. Some mates picked me up and we went straight to the pub, had some drinks, checked the ladies out and life was great again.
- Well, I think it's worth all the strip searches and gropings and porno x-rays and interrogations at the US airports because it's better to be treated like a bleating sheep than to run the one in ten trillion chance of being a victim of a terrorist! And what use are civil rights and liberties anyway if you don't use them?
Besides, you can always trust The Government because it knows what's best for us and never lies to us.
- haha so true. I was coming home from hawaii and was so used to American TSA that I was also taking my shoes and coats off too. But the laptop one wouldn't have happened. We still need to take our laptops out of the bags as well in Australia, we've been doing so for good 10 years now lol
- Yeah, Australians maybe lax on airport security, but try and smuggle a fucking apple into the country. One fucking apple, or any food item for that matter.
See what happens.
- Say bomb at an airport you wont be getting on a plane.
- :-D
- Wait, right to the end... I double dog dare ya...
- Hehe this is great. I remember going to Disneyworld from Canada when I was a preteen in 2003 and bringing a geometry set to do some homework while I was on my trip and they actually confiscated the protractor, I guess because it had a sharp edge or something.
- Lol, what is the joke about the two bombs? I don't understand.
- I've been this person. I now feel infinitely more embarrassed than I did at the time. I had no idea I looked American.
- Straya! Who needs good air port security when you got Damo. You know Damo, big staunched cunt Damo. Damo will fuck up any terrorist, he's the hardest cunt out. He punched a rubbish bin and broke his hand, i seen him do it!
- STTRRAAAAYYYA
- I did exactly the same thing flying from Sydney to Cairns LOL...the Australian TSA agent was laughing his ass off at me and told me to get dressed....
- That's funny... The word "Cunt", in America is extreme but its ok for everyone to carry a gun?
BTW I'm Aussie and I don't use the word but people who swear a lot do. Here in Australia it's not always used to insult, eg. "This comedian is such a funny cunt".
- holy crap that auto-stabilize is making me motionsick
- You can now auto-check in for international flights too. The only difference is that you have to scan your passport. It's so much easier and more efficient.
You still have to go through immigration though, but they are nowhere near as strict as American immigration.
I remember once I was flying from Vancouver to Las Vegas and I had to pass through US immigration in Vancouver instead of in LV.
There was one question I forgot to fill in on my declaration and this guy told me to exit the line, fill in the form appropriately and then wait by this pole until he called my name to re-enter the line....OKAY!
Anyway I filled in the form and waited by the pole when an immigration officer motioned me over to his desk, so I started to move and this guy yells at me "don't move ma'am I did not order you to move!". Talk about embarrassment.
So there I am trapped between one immigration official telling me to come over to the window and another telling me I am not ordered to move. I looked at the guy at the window and just shrugged my shoulders.
So finally common sense prevailed and the guy at the window told the other officer to back off and allow me to approach the window, to which the other officer shrugged and said "well, okay' as if the other officer was being irrational.
...all I did was not fill one thing in on my declaration! Talk about irrational security measures and being drunk on power.
American immigration make people feel like criminals. It's messed up, and totally unnecessary.

- He's amazing!
- I realize I'm getting older (or maybe just old) but I ran this back thru my head, took all the C words out and it was just as funny. I love this guys sense of humour but I can only listen to it a bit at a time because the language just really irritates me. My opinion and I'm allowed it.
