    That’s dumb. I understand restrictions on uncooked meats, but what harm could a cooked chicken breast do? This is what happens when officials blindly enforce rules without understanding the purpose of the rule in the first place.

      It’s a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia. Australia (and NZ) are very susceptible to pathogens from outside so this kind of thing is taken very seriously in both countries.

        It’s a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia.

        A cooked chicken sandwich? And letting in people who’ve eaten the sandwiches isn’t a biosecurity risk? Hmm. I’m questioning the genuineness of the concern.

        You probably shouldn’t let any people in then.

        “Nope, don’t worry about that. It’s the chicken sandwiches that are the problem.”

      You should be thankful it’s cooked.

      If it’s undercooked? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

      Brah so we should test all chicken breast coming into the country to make sure it’s cooked? Who the fuck is paying for that? Or maybe you just don’t bring a fucking chicken burger on the plane…

        If you can’t tell the difference between raw chicken breast and a piece of fried chicken on sight, please don’t ever work anywhere near the food industry.
