Only in Australia: Customs will ask you if you are carrying porn (and then watch it)

David Parker Brown has noted on his Airline Reporter blog that should you be traveling to the land down under, you should expect an additional question from customes:

“Do you have any firearms? Any illegal drugs? Carrying any items for someone else?” These are all questions that if asked while flying, wouldn’t make you think twice. How about “do you have any porn in your bags? Yes? Well we need to view it” That would make me do a second take.

Apparently, Customs in Australia started asking the question in September 2009. Hence and when filling our your Passenger Card, you are asked if you are carrying any pornography. And if you say yes, then your porn will likely need to be viewed by a customs bureaucrat. Only in Australia I suppose!
