Dude they have you so brainwashed

Customs is about money, pure and simple. Australia imports a lot of fish, fruits and vegies from indonesia and other Asian countries. Bringing fruit in has nothing to do with disease and everything to do with you having to replace it with Australian food after you enter the country Don't be fooled, the world was safe from fungus and disease before Australian customs was created :bunny:

And I agree US customs and immigration sucks as well. Britain is a bitch too. Other countries I've been to have been real easy.
