They were looking for Australian fauna smugglers and I suspect our past criminal record with the Fruit Fly Gestapo had been relayed through ahead of us. It's a sad fact, but once you get record it takes some living down.
Well after we finally convinced them that we were not Budgie smugglers, and the only birds we had on board were both legally married to us, they quickly changed their tune and appointed us unofficial Flora and Fauna Protection Agents ...I'd like to tell you more but because of the sensitive nature of our work, we must maintain a high degree of secrecy whilst operating under cover as we are.
I can tell you however, that we were issued with very nice little plastic bags of informative pamphlets outlining our area of responsibility and given personally engraved biro pens by courtesy of the Australian Government in appreciation.
nice to see our tax dollars are being put to good use..... got to keep an eye on all you suspicious looking creatures....
