Every bloody time.
People not declaring food and then getting annoyed when they get stopped.
One Chinese couple who were entering New Zealand for a holiday, with onions, cabbage, sugar, etc...
Do people think Australia and New Zealand have no food what so ever or something.
A Swiss guy and his son who brought in apples from their back garden in Switzerland, got a $400 fine for failing to declare them and even writing on the declaration card that he has no fruit or vegetables with him.
Who takes fruit and veg on holiday with them!?
Just get a bag or two of sweets either chewy or boiled for the flight.
If you take other stuff, be honest and declare them or get a large fine.
Lol.
Now a Canadian woman declared no fruit or vegetables and sure enough, no fruit or veg present, but she also didn’t declare the fact she had a cat with her, saying it’s her support cat for anxiety, she’s not on meds or anything. She intends to go paragliding, how much anxiety can she have if she enjoys paragliding?
EDIT: to clarify. She said she gets anxiety from paragliding so has the cat to help with the anxiety.
((she got turned around back to Canada and had to pay $2,000 to ship the cat back))
A Dutch guy had admitted that he has a pillow of cocaine in his bag. He originally swallowed 30 pellets of cocaine, but found it uncomfortable, so passed them and put them in a pillow thinking he’d still get them passed.

Anxiety covers a pretty broad spectrum. Someone could have serious social anxiety without having the slightest problem with paragliding. What triggers anxiety and panic attacks really can be very different from person to person.
None of that exempts you from following the local laws though, even if you do legitimately have a mental illness. Hopefully countries make accommodations , but as the traveler that’s on you do work out.

I think they should all be beaten around the head with varying degrees of weapon.
The Swiss guy and Chinese couple with the back of your hand,
The Canadian woman, with a stick and
The Dutch guy, a hammer.
But with many of them, why aren’t they getting stopped before they get on the plane!?

I should of added and will amend.
She said she gets anxiety from the paragliding though.
As someone who gets anxious i n public spaces and has had depression for many years, I understand the many types and triggers.
But as you stated, laws and procedures must be followed.

It just seems odd they check you don’t have fluids, explosives or weapons before getting on the flight,
then animals , vegetables, drugs or cigarettes at the other end.
It’d be so much easier to say at the check in desk, ‘if you have any animal, fruit or veg etable products, etc... if you don’t declare them, you will be fined, certain products are not permitted in ................ . country and you risk getting fined, turned around or imprisoned’.

I guess the airlines don’t care because, unlike visa issues, it’s not their problem if you get in trouble. In fact they often make it worse - for example Singapore Airlines are very prone to handing out fruit on the plane as snacks, and I’ve never heard them tell you you can’t keep it for later.
However there’s normally an arrival video on the plane which tells you all th e “d ont’ s” - presumably that’s a government requirement - and there are dirty great signs all over the baggage h all and prominently marked amnesty bins. If you get as far as biosecurity and still have something dodgy in your bags, It really serves you right.
It’s astonishing how many people do though: pretty much every time I fly home I see the beagle s pinging someone .

Lol. The fruit given on a plane is quite a common one in Australia and New Zealand customs shows.
I’m intrigued by the asian community who take masses of food with them whether they are on holiday or seeing family, it’s as if they don’t think Australasia has any food.
I mean this episode was was crazy in that the Chinese couple brought in regular onions and a sugar decanted into a baggy.
An American couple had a baggy of energy drink powder and even said they get stopped at every airport because of it.
So bloody learn from it, check to see if it’s available in the country your going to, if you need to take it with you, leave it in the original container with the label on. Bloody hell.

But I thought Middle Earth at one point was not only threatened by the armies of Mordor, but by the armies of Sauruman.
So the land is still recovering from Sauron’s foul magicks and the people can’t spare any food for travelers.
And people bring their own food into Australia, because in Australia everything tries to kill you, even their food.
