of course not. he didn't do anything illegal and he wasn't aggressive or threatening towards officers. I agree with him, they can be intrusive and overbearing
Nope , i think he is 100% right , i stopped traveling for fun for exactly the same reasons. Fair enough it's their country so they can ask all they want i guess. They can even ask for an arm and a leg . They just won't be asking it to me.
As an American, he's embarrassing....I travel a fair amount and I'd never think I deserve better treatment than any other foreigner...He should get out more.
who cares you are an American, it does not have any bearing and you don't have to be an American to be embarrassed by this traveler's behavior, poor remark.
He is not an experienced traveler.I have traveled to 7 countries, 4 in the last 6 years including Australia. The only search of me (my husband and daughter) was in Detroit. In Toronto my binoculars (bird watcher) were taken apart.
I’m American and people like him leave a bad impression upon other countries in regard to Americans. Those gentlemen were just doing their job and were polite as can be. I give them credit for keeping their cool.
As a Vietnamese-American, I am humiliated when I watch this. His behavior and the way he talks to the border security do not reflect the Vietnamese people at all.
A passenger having too much luggage has a problem, a passenger with no luggage is a problem, passenger with money is a problem, passenger with no money is a problem, what to do
Simon was a ultimate pro, asking questions of the man while looking him in the eyes the whole time and wasn't doing anything wrong....when a person is acting like he was, it makes him look suspicious....
No, the officer was not rude at all. Yes, The American was very rude. Sir, you pretend that foreigners don’t get the same treatment when traveling to the USA.
@@annelallyAs a migrant living in Australia for nearly 20 years, my mindset when I travel is: they're doing their job. I'm doing the right thing. So, my conscience is clear and they can check whatever they need to check to protect the country I have adopted as my home. I get a bit frustrated too but courtesy and patience go a longer way than open annoyance 😅
You have to understand its for your safety for them to randomly check so no bad person enters. I was checked once in Chicago traveling with my 7yr old and 6mo old. They even checked in my babys diaper. I guess i looked weird, but we were cleared.
I wouldn't have used "knuckle" as the prefix. I sincerely hope that his return into the US included a secondary inspection. Let him be rude and nasty to US CBP and see how bad they feel about it. In fact, I hope his next trip out of the country is to Canada. He wouldn't get a cheery "Fair enough" from Canadian CBP either.
@vivienobijiaku2397 Yes I did but I wrote that comment before I finished watching! The bloke at the start was indeed Vietnamese & hilarious too! The 2nd man was from the Usa.
My late husband and I have been to Australia several times. Each time it had been wonderful! Gorgeous continent, friendly people. All the best from a Hungarian from Austria !
I think he may have confused Australia with Disneyland. I truly hope he didn't immediately insult his friend by whining about his "bad" experience. The agents in the video were both superb.
If he acts like that in a Vietnam airport... he may or may not just end up in a dark room, then come back out black & blue. With attitude & a temper like, it's highly unbelievable he would have no record of past incidents of his rage.
That American was so entitled, he thinks that just because your from America that your above suspicion. If anything you should look at them more then anyone.
He even admitted he had never traveled outside the US before, so he's completely unaware that this procedure is exactly the same in other countries including the US.
When I went USA in 2013 I was subjected to everything but a cavity search, retina scan, finger prints, lengthy questions etc. it is what it is if you not prepared to go through these processes stay home. I found TSA were more difficult especially the long slow lines due to their processes
Wow. two arrogant passengers, with no concern for the safety of the nation they are trying to enter. If I ever travel again at my late age, God keep me from behaving like this to customs officers of another nation who are protection their country.
@@Somebodyelse141on other side shouldn't be annoying but expectations. My last 2 travels i set my self for search because of my body language and I can't blame officers for that just myself...
His behaviour is not acceptable at such beautiful country like Australia. Australia people seems so calm n nice.if this kind of happens should take immediate action
If you guys suspect him hiding something in his body, then just do the X-ray and let him go. He just wanted to leave quickly which doesn't mean he has something illegal. His argument was about making him awaited for just a small pack. Passengers and travellers should be respected by listening to their point of view. If you were waiting for him to have medical emergency is not a right thing to do.
He didn’t understand that everyone is suspected to be guilty. Not innocent until proven guilty. It is jarring to have your neatly packed skivvies rifled through, even with a smile on customs’ faces.
I think there is a very good term that applies to the American arriving in Melbourne. He has an attitude problem. I really wonder if he ever changed his arrogant attitude after that trip. You have to consider the fact that this was aired in 2005/2006 which wasn't too long after 9/11 and they were well within their right to do their job. I've traveled a lot as well and Customs in many countries just make sure you're a genuine, safe traveler.
"I've never been out of the country before, have no idea that literally every country does this (including my own), and I'm offended due entirely to my own lack of research". Yup, American!
I have been to the USA and the border security there are rude and horrid and I was quite scared actually. So,this guy thinks Australia is giving him a bad taste.
In the late 1970’s, I worked with a single young guy in his early 30’s. One Friday after work, he flew to Fiji for a vacation. No luggage. He bought everything he needed for his week vacation. You are a legend, Ray B.
Interesting that when a male colleague joins the female officer, the traveller sits down and subsequently lowers his voice. Initially, at least. This guy's just soooo inappropriate, and evidently accustomed to using tantrum and intimidation to get his own way. Euccch!
In America they have Homeland Security, Transportation Security Agency, Custom and Border Security... that can request one's ID within one-hundred miles of the U.S. border... and this guy's is getting upset over a standard airport baggage search?
Oh my good, he actually said "Coming from the USA..." 😂 Dude is in for a biiiig culture shock when he finds out that the US ain't held in any high esteem outside the US 😆
The American guy doesn't understand that they are asking him personal questions to build a profile of him so they can understand him better and determine if he is a genuine tourist or not
the vietnamese guy think hes a american or something. Because in vietnam, he couldn't act tough like this. Vietnam is a communist country they wouldnt let it people act like this. He said he was poor and had to go home soon more reason not to because australian currency worth more than vietnam so if he got a chance to work in Australia it be a lot better than at home. And if you poor why are you acting like youre someone important or superior.
I just came back from Australia, I loved the country but honestly, the immigration is just too much, I felt like criminal, they dive in your personal plans ,life,belongings in an intimidating way.
Mhm... you don't really think logically, do you. If yout staying for two weeks and bringing enough luggage to last you six months... you don't think that a little suspicious that they might plan to over stay their visa. The guy who had no luggage did so bc he knew if his luggage was searched, they would find out that he had outstanding warrants for his arrest. See how using your brain helps.
America (the US) has offered so much to the world, culturally, scientifically, advancement......it's the most welcoming country and when it comes to natural beauty, it wins both Canada and Australia combined ! I'm Canadian by the way !
Is this really happening? Does that man not know that by this behavior alone, even a kid would be suspicious. At least he can pretend to be a proper tourist with luggage and bags
The American guy was thinking Australia is US every country has their own legislation. He thoughts is above th3 law show respect, please. They was any rudest conversation
The procedure sounds good to me but why did the officers confirm with his friend who’s waiting outside? I have never seen this approach in other countries.
The American guy with the "Tude". I'd tell him if he doesn't like the customs procedures I would tell him "If you are that upset, I can deny you entry and have you returned to America right now if you like."
Looks like Australia is on the Verge of a collapse. That guy is not gonna tell his friends to come to Australia. I don’t know what they’re gonna do now the economy is going to bankrupt. All those friends will wind up, spending all their money in America with that booming economy, gonna be,, gonna be rough.
Maybe they are doing their job but after flying so many hours is not nice that estranged people goes through your underwear and personal items I wood be mad too😡
True but most will say it isn't a continent but a country. That Australia is the country and Oceania the continent. It drives me mad too😂 bc they ask us to deny reality. Australia is a land mass surrounded by water so, yes... it's both a country and continent.
I agree with the American gentleman. What are the scanning machines for if you have to touch my personal things with your hands and place them all over those surfaces? It's in appropriate.
Do you think he should have been denied entry from his behaviour alone?
of course not. he didn't do anything illegal and he wasn't aggressive or threatening towards officers. I agree with him, they can be intrusive and overbearing
ahh yes, u dont allow bad behaivour!!! should've been sent back and denied entry for a year
@@tomtom8786 Yeah but he still didn't need to act in such a volotile manner though.
Yes, definitely!
Nope , i think he is 100% right , i stopped traveling for fun for exactly the same reasons. Fair enough it's their country so they can ask all they want i guess. They can even ask for an arm and a leg . They just won't be asking it to me.
I'm sure the people from Australia really don't care if you don't come back
duh! the'yre concern is when you're bringin something in.
@pauline exactly 😂
Wow settle down One nation even the name fits "Pauline".....
lol
The guy from the US is utterly arrogant and ignorant. He’s never seen how much worse and rude the customs officers are in his home country 😂
Spot on. American immigration at the airports is terrible, rude and overbearing.
Keep him in the States, as the traveller, himself, suggests, as far away as possible from genuine world travellers.
As an American, he's embarrassing....I travel a fair amount and I'd never think I deserve better treatment than any other foreigner...He should get out more.
The american imigration officer that spoke to me in NY JFK didn't even spoke english! I'm not joking she had to take me to talk to someone else
Agreed, American customs in JFK especially is a national embarrassment
As an American I am so embarrassed by people like this guy.
who cares you are an American, it does not have any bearing and you don't have to be an American to be embarrassed by this traveler's behavior, poor remark.
People think customs job is to be a welcoming party. It's not.

"Whenever unsure - undress". That's a rule of life I'm trying to learn.
You'd be amazed at how many doors it can open. Unless you're a dude.
As a Vietnamese-American, I am humiliated when I watch this. His behavior and the way he talks to the border security do not reflect the Vietnamese people at all.
I would hope that nobody thinks that. He’s clearly scared of getting picked up, and thinks this attitude will get him through quickly.
Yes it does, y’all are loud and rude!
I do this type of work. People don't understand that getting agitated only makes the search take longer.
Oh No!! He won't come back to Australia?? (The sound everyone is hearing is Australia NOT losing sleep over this bombshell bit of information)
