      Moreover, she declared on her landing card that she had no plant or animal material on her possession. Being a New Zealander she should know better. What an idiot.

      It was probably a lack of attention combined with a genuine mistake. She claims she slept through the flight. Lots of people are also unaware how strictly we deal with it and think they’ll be fine instead of fined. We have an entire TV show about it.

      I don’t want to be too harsh on her as it’s relatively minor and the fine amounted to 10% of their combined remaining life savings. It was her mistake.

        Armstrong said she packed the sandwich in her bag before the flight
