An airport fined a traveler $1,874 for two McMuffins after they were discovered in his luggage

• The passenger was fined for not declaring he had breakfast sandwiches.

• An Australian initiative to guard against Foot and Mouth disease resulted in a fine.

• There has been a surge in flight delays this summer, and the passenger is not the only one.

One traveler pays more for a few breakfast sandwiches than his flight.

Several McDonald's breakfast sandwiches were found in a traveler's luggage and they were fined 2,664 Australian dollars.

Insider asked for comment from Australian authorities, but they didn't reply.

Two egg and sausage McMuffins and a ham croissant were identified by a dog at the airport, according to local news. There was a passenger on the trip.

The individual was fined a few days after Australian authorities tightened security to deal with an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Indonesia. The minister told 7NEWS that the food was destroyed after being inspected.

Australian authorities say that the virus can be carried on clothing and food. Cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs are at risk of being affected by the disease.

According to experts, an outbreak of the disease could cost the country 80 billion dollars. Travelers who don't declare dairy and meat products on July 22 will be fined.

Watt said he had no sympathy for people who chose to carry a variety of risk items.

The Australian government has announced a $9.8 million program to fight the disease.

The passenger is not the only one who faces travel problems this summer. According to Hannah Towey, flight attendants are struggling to deal with irate passengers.
