Now, many people choose to travel abroad during the Spring Festival holiday? But there's one little thing that you might never have thought of, but it might annoy you with marijuana. So remind me again!
Here's the thing.
By the way, at Brisbane International Airport in Australia, when a few Chinese tourists get off the plane and arrive at their destination, they are extremely excited and happy. That's for sure!
Almost everyone took out their cell phones and started taking pictures, and some called their families to tell them that they were safe.
However, seemingly ordinary actions brought trouble: they were caught by staff, warned and fined. The phone was also taken away for further investigation.
Originally, they are in a restricted area: near the airport customs, the use of mobile phones and other equipment is strictly prohibited.
Many of these visitors, who have just finished a dozen hours of flight, are naturally happy to come to Australia for the first time.
Aircraft flight can not use mobile phones, after landing can start and have a network, tourists naturally need to quickly open the mobile phone, to report to their families safe.
By the way, it is quite novel to come here for the first time, taking pictures of the scenery of the airport, taking selfie and posting Time line. Many people continue to play with mobile phones as they line up for customs, and others are excited to take photos at the customs counter with their phones.
Such a move was immediately brought to the attention of airport customs staff. They immediately took a few security guards to the tourists,
Pointing to their phones, seriously saying "this is under Australian Customs control, law forbids you to use mobile phones in this area," after warning phone callers, and imposing a fine of $340,340 on tourists who have been photographing.
After the incident, CCTV also first reported on the matter, reminding the vast majority of China's citizen to abide by the local law, do not use mobile phones in the airport customs and other restricted areas!
The Chinese Consulate General in Brisbane also issued a warning!
Almost all foreign airports (including, of course, Canada and the United States) have similar clear rules on the use of mobile phones and cameras:
Cell phones, cameras and camcorders are not allowed to be used in customs control areas at airports and ports. Make sure your electronic device is off until you enter the public area through the control area.
Illegal use can be fined. That is to say, it is illegal to turn on your mobile phone.
Whether you send social app, to browse Weibo, or call, it's illegal to take a picture. When we pass the customs, we must control our own hands.
In fact, not only Australia, the world's customs are the same, there are controlled areas. If the same happens at Canadian airports, tourists will be punished.
Netizens said they had been arrested at the Immigration Board for taking pictures at customs:
Some netizens took photos at Thai airport. As a result, their mobile phones were confiscated!
The lighter ones, like some of the tourists mentioned above, were fined, lost and humiliated. Serious cases, such as taking pictures of customs officers, are not just a matter of fines. Your cell phone will be confiscated.
Customs will scrutinize everything on your phone. In the worst case, you will be prosecute, or even repatriated on the spot. If your cell phone is confiscated, you can't refuse it, or you may be arrested and jailed.
Airport customs related to national security, in the customs restricted areas to break into and take pictures are strictly prohibited. Remember that the customs rights is bigger than you think!
Although the phone contains a lot of personal information and privacy, at the time of entry, immigration officials in most countries have the right to check your phone.
So why not use mobile phones at customs? In the foreign version of "Zhihu"-Quora, some netizens have asked questions:
Why can't you use your cell phone until you get through airport customs?
Many netizens have given the answer: mainly for safety reasons.
First, images of sensitive areas are exposed, resulting in potential threat for the implementation of security operations. Get the photo, (terrorist) of the sensitive area and you can plan the location, the route, and so on.
Second, the phone photographed the security guard's face, and they were exposed. It will be dangerous to do plain-clothes work in the future.
Third, the phone can detonate the bomb. It can also be used as a signal to start a terrorist attack, or as a tool for communication and communication between other outlaws.
But there is also a great answer:
"many security measures are unnecessary restrictions. For example, the airport customs ban on the use of mobile phones, in part to show authority (you are in our country, you must listen to me!) Part of it is to show'we did something about it'.
There is no logical reason for this provision. Ordinary tourists take a photo in front of the wall that arrives in the hall. What kind of threat can there be? After all, this is not the White House.
Will terrorist feel that "it will be very difficult for us to blow up the White House, why don't we take a few customs photo and challenge the authority"?
Of course, the phone can detonate the bomb. But if you're carrying bomb, why not detonate on the plane? We'll have to wait until we land. "
Well, anyway, out of the country is someone else's territory. Naturally, go to the country and follow the local law.
And airport customs in many countries (including China) are not allowed to take photos and use mobile phones.
Perhaps the domestic control is not very strict, the law is not responsible for the public, resulting in a lot of people abroad "ignorant" situation. At the airport, if you want to take a picture, send a Time line or report it safe, let's talk about it when you leave the customs.
