Woman Fined $1750 For Failing To Declare Half A Subway Sandwich At Customs

A woman picked up a Subway sandwich in the Singapore airport before her flight to Perth, Australia. She only ate half of it – and for some reason brought the leftovers with her. Perhaps she wanted to find out first hand just how sick an unrefrigerated fast food sandwich will make you after a five hour flight.

She was fined US $1750 for not declaring her foot at customs when she returned to Australia.

The woman acknowledged her mistake in the video. She had returned from Europe and was on the plane. She didn't think clearly when she said she wouldn't be bringing food into the country. She said that she didn't want to "tick chicken" and that she didn't want to "tick lettuce" on the agriculture disclosures.

She quit her job before she went abroad, and the fines and rent are due at the same time. Australia takes agriculture declarations seriously. Sometimes bureaucrats apply rules formulaically instead of applying reason to the situation. A subway sandwich from the Singapore airport is probably safer than the rest of the country.

Customs officers acknowledged discretion which she says they were choosing not to extend to her, offering that foreigners often don't get fined because of the "language barrier" while she is facing full enforcement.

She posts photos of herself wearing very little clothing on her social media accounts.

A woman lost her global entry after taking an apple off a Delta flight and not declaring it. The global entry was restored after she contacted her congressional representative.

Crystal Tadlock was given an apple on her flight from Paris. She thought she would eat it on her flight to Denver. She was selected to go through secondary screening.

There is a commentary in this.

Customer questions need to be answered correctly when entering the U.S. If you are chosen for secondary screening and caught, you could lose your Global Entry privileges if you have any food with you. I warn readers about this before.

Is a slip and fall the fault of an airline when a passenger's bag protrudes into the aisle? Accidents are called accidents because they happen sometimes.

In airlines.
