Passenger fined $1874 after two McMuffins were found in his luggage

(HRNW) Officials at an Australian airport weren’t very happy when a passenger on a flight; came with food that wasn’t declared.

After a passenger flying from Indonesia smuggled a McDonald’s meal on a flight; to Darwin International Airport in Australia; a detection dog discovered the biosecurity breach last week.

The ham croissant, two egg and beef sausage McMuffins; and other items were found in the traveler’s backpack by Zinta; the airport’s new biosecurity detector dog. The traveller was fined $2,664 ($1,874 in American dollars) for failing to report; things that could pose a significant danger to biosecurity; and for submitting a fraudulent and deceptive travel declaration form.

Murray Watt, Australia’s minister of agriculture, fisheries, and forestry; said in a statement: “This will be the most expensive Maccas meal; this passenger has ever had; this fine is twice the price of an airfare to Bali. But I have no sympathy for people who choose to disobey; Australia’s strict biosecurity measures, and recent detections; show you will be caught.”
