Wa, only 23hrs of detention.

http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2012/01/02/281131_ntnews.html

A TERRITORY woman spent 23 hours locked up in Singapore after two rounds of live ammunition were found in her camera bag.

Jessica Powter, 34, of Katherine, was facing a mandatory five-year jail term after unwittingly bringing the two 8cm-long bullets used to shoot buffalo into Singapore - but she was let off with a warning.

The public servant cautioned other Territorians to check their luggage before travelling overseas.

"In Singapore passengers get caught (with bullets) on a daily basis," Ms Powter said.

"In the Territory there are so many people that go pig hunting and buffalo shooting as a sport and these people are travelling in and out of Asia all the time." Ms Powter had been carrying the bullets in her camera bag for three years after a one-off hunting trip.

"The bullets were rolling about in the car so I put them in my backpack and forgot about them," she said.

In that time the camera bag went through airports several times when Ms Powter took two flights to Brisbane and a trip to Cairns.

Ms Powter was once picked for a random explosives test at airport security.

It took a zealous security guard at Changi Airport Singapore to find the two 8cm-long bullets tucked away in a forgotten pouch.

Ms Powter was returning to Darwin via Singapore from a holiday in Thailand on October 13.

"The security guard had to put the bag through about three or four times before he found them."

Ms Powter had her passport confiscated, was searched and interrogated.

"They said they had to arrest me and take me to jail and I would go before a magistrate within 24 to 48 hours. I started to panic."

She was then handcuffed and, in tears, escorted from the airport.

"I kept thinking of things like Schapelle Corby and all those sort of news stories."

Ms Powter spent the next 23 hours waiting in a holding cell with five other women.

A squat toilet with only a metre wall for privacy was in the centre of the room.

Every three hours she was body searched.

"I sat there from 1pm until midday the next day. I did not hear from anyone."

During those hours the Australian Embassy informed Ms Powter's family of the situation.

Eventually a police officer spoke to the magistrate on her behalf. She was finally released after she wrote a letter of apology.

Ms Powter said the experience had made her a little nervous about travelling.

Jessica Powter mentioned the case of Schapelle Corby.

You know the world is screwed up when murdering 200 people is considered by the legal courts to be a less serious crime compared to accidentally bringing in recreational drugs.

Australian Schapelle Corby is serving a 20-year sentence for the importation of 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) of cannabis into Bali, Indonesia. Corby has maintained from the time of her arrest that the drugs were planted in her boogie board bag and that she did not know about them. Her due release date, with remissions, is currently 12 April 2024.

The Corby case angered many, who contrasted her prosecution with the lighter sentence given to Indonesian Abu Bakar Bashir, the leader of the terrorist group which carried out the 2002 Bali bombings, killing over 200 people including 88 Australians.

When inside lock up they will search you every few hours for fear that someone might have smuggled contraband into the cell via food delivery etc.

Women remandees are search by female officers.

The quote is on William Gibson's article of the same title.

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/1.04/gibson.html

One of Disney's motto of his theme park is that it should be impeccably clean and safe for families. Hence the reference.

...after investigations revealed that she's not a Singaporean and would therefore be exempted from Singaporean laws. :smile:

Sam you said Singaporeans got no brain - where is this Aussie woman's brain? In the pubic region?

Singapore is so kind - may be because they let our soldiers train there and let us bomb their land. Should make her do nude squat and check her shit after 24 hours?

"Over-zealous security guard"? Aussie woman trying to smuggle bullets in a camera bag come up with cock and bull story. The alert security guard could smell a rat! If Aussie teenagers can be caught with marijuana in Bali, what about other Aussie adults? The ex-convict gene is still in her blood, I supposed!
