I'll know next time. I feel so stupid for not asking to see where the new law was written down, but I was definately feeling uneasy and didn't want "the fine" as well. What a horrible practice.
Something else I remember was that this young guy was not particularly over bearing or anything. He acted fairly politely and almost apologetic and there were at least 6 0r 7 other officers in the vicinity so I'm wondering if he was being trained in "the way of customs".
I hate that airport. I've only just learned how to navigate the porters, now I have to watch out for customs too. :-(
I'll see if I can get an address and write a complaint letter at least.
