    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.

        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.

        Overcooked? Also jail.
