so im planning to go through oz customs with 4 hard drives in my carry on. These are not portable hard drives, they are from my PC case.
Amongst all the crap on them, there is porn, yes porn. Its not anything I would consider objectionable but I just read on the
oz customs site:

reasonable adults.

will need to make a case according to the regulations. Import permits
may not be granted simply on the grounds the goods are for personal

Im certain customs will want to know whats on them and may even check (since they are not portable)
now:
what the f**k are
standards of morality and what is a
reosanble adult? These seem very very subjective terms.
The very existance of humanity depends on us f**king and its all over the tv in the form of "buy this beer and you'll get to wax that ass" etc...
any thoughts/opinions/jokes???
