    That’s dumb. I understand restrictions on uncooked meats, but what harm could a cooked chicken breast do? This is what happens when officials blindly enforce rules without understanding the purpose of the rule in the first place.

      You should be thankful it’s cooked.

      If it’s undercooked? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

        Overcooked? Also jail.

      It’s a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia. Australia (and NZ) are very susceptible to pathogens from outside so this kind of thing is taken very seriously in both countries.

        A cooked chicken sandwich? And letting in people who’ve eaten the sandwiches isn’t a biosecurity risk? Hmm. I’m questioning the genuineness of the concern.

        You probably shouldn’t let any people in then.

        “Nope, don’t worry about that. It’s the chicken sandwiches that are the problem.”

      Brah so we should test all chicken breast coming into the country to make sure it’s cooked? Who the fuck is paying for that? Or maybe you just don’t bring a fucking chicken burger on the plane…

        It’s a case of common sense. Obviously an accident, obviously cooked. Throw it in the trash and move on with life. You crazy black and white maniacs that think every rule has to be applied 100% in every case with no possibility of anything ever happening that maybe doesn’t make sense or isn’t the intention of the people who wrote the rule are like 50% of what’s wrong with society.

          I have a feeling the granny probably pissed someone off along the way. I’m sure sometimes it gets thrown away and everyone moves on.

          You and I obviously have no idea what happened at the security gate, or the extent to which she tried to argue about it or hide it. I’ve travelled in and made mistakes in the past and the result was a stern ticking off. I suspect there was more to this.

          Us crazy black and white maniacs is why Australia doesn’t get to enjoy the wide array of pest and dieses the rest of the world has.

          Fuck this gandma and her chicken burger. Entitled people like her are actually what’s wrong with society.

                Yes I called the people who charged a grandma $2000 for accidentally bringing a sandwich that has zero chance of carrying avian influenza dicks. Why you’re choosing to take that personally is beyond me.

        If you can’t tell the difference between raw chicken breast and a piece of fried chicken on sight, please don’t ever work anywhere near the food industry.

          If you don’t know chicken can look cooked on the outside but be raw on the inside please don’t ever work anywhere near the food industry.

            Who the fuck is smuggling half-cooked chicken breasts for this ‘gotcha’ of yours? Oh, that’s right, no one.
