Hope the herbs don't have suspicious names and there are no weeds.

NZ is suspect on all levels. Primarily in the major scam stakes. NZ has sold itself out to the highest bidder and become the go to country for Chinese money laundering; the facilitator for scam immigration into Australia, and a go to for laundering Chinese poisonous food into Australia, by rebranding with "made in NZ" as the less than subtle disguise.
Nothing from NZ should be trusted, including their own immigration and border security systems.

Sadly, Western governments have taken it upon themselves to appear to be looking at the best interests of their citizens.In fact they are turning the life of good citizens into Hell on Earth.
So as not to seem to be targeting specific groups such as Chinese in
NZ ,Arabs and Blacks in Britain or Muslims and Blacks in Australia everyone is targeted.
At airports in western counties.Everyone has to take off their shoes ,belt,jackets etc then pass thought screening.
I forget the last time a White Christian or Jew blew up a plane .NEVER.
Yet Jews and Christians have to go through this ritual humiliation every time they board a plane.
The Security industry is the fastest growth sector in our economy.
I cannot understand people thinking and saying .
It is better to be safe than sorry.
When they are having their dignity and respect stripped away from them.
The Gestapo during WW11 used to employ the same procedures as present day Airport Security Staff but no one complains.

Chinese goose-berries with micro-chip ATM card-skimmers became kiwi fruit. The NZ war-lords now have vote-rigging pc hackers in strawberry needles.

Come on fellers, it is their country.

If you don't like their laws, don't visit. After all no one is forcing you to go there.

After seeing on a TV program, the arrogance of Canadian boarder security personal, there is no way I would set foot in the place. The same goes for a huge chunk of Africa, the middle east & Asia. The lack of the rule of law would keep me out of these today.

Hell from what I've heard recently even Spain can be a bit dicky where justice is concerned. A little bit of voyeur activity by NZ security folk looks pretty harmless by comparison.

"Did you enter the product as 'Marijuana' on your MYOB file ?"
"Why yes of course officer , the Commissioner of Taxation in Canberra requires that".
"And your password?"
"It's 'smartEvasion' if you must know".
"OK you're cleared . Enjoy NZ Sir".
