Border Security - Customs 1 Tourist 0

On Australian National TV, Border Security is aired every Monday night at 19:30. In the show that was aired this evening, there was a segment that included an American tourist that caught the attention of the Customs staff.

Upon standard routine questioning, the traveler became agitated. The traveler claimed that the questions were intrusive and personal, of which some were,
how long are you going to be in Australia and
how much money have yo got for the stay.


These questions are used to establish that the travelers welfare is not at stake. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are they considered 'obtrusive' as claimed. The traveler then went on to degrade Australia because of the 'incident' at customs.

America's policy on entering tourists is far more obtrusive, as it is a method for cataloging everyone in the name of 'national security'. Coming from this kind of country the tourist IS WELL AWARE of the laws regarding security, and his reasoning is erroneous, to say the least.

Nothing more nothing less then another TpT Yankee out of its hole !!
