Farney Incident

Dec 21, 2005 11:15

This happened when I was at Perth airport returning to Singapore last week.  I was queueing at security waiting for my bags to be put through the x-ray machine when this family of 6 people (father, mahder and 4 kids), obviously Singaporean, walked in.  The security guy at the entrance to the queue asked the father to weigh the package he was carrying (it was a box, tied with string, looked heavy - and the Australians are pretty Nazi about hand carry being less than 7 kgs).  The following exchange took place:

Security Guy:  I'm sorry sir, this package is more than 7 kg.  You will have to get the ground staff downstairs to check it in.

Mahder (in a belligerent manner and tone): But we got so many people what.  Cannot carry heavier meh?

*roll eyes*
