got you picked out of the line by Quarantine! I've gone with this theory for several years. I always declare some sort of food item, not wood as this gets you in a whole other line!
Usually I get to the front, they ask what it is, always something I know I'm allowed and I'm let through with no other checks of luggage (not that I'm carrying any contraband but it's just easier!).
Last trip I declared food for 2 tiny sachets of vegemite. Big mistake! Not directed out the door this time when asked what I had. Sent along to another HUGE line, massive wait to then FINALLY get to a counter and be told 'that's fine, you can go'. Not Happy was I with 2 kids in the middle of the night. No food or wood for me next time!
Enjoyed the read!
