Australia: Nanny State

A Melbourne man says his life has been ruined after Customs officers took his hard drive from him because it contained pornography.
Customs has recently started asking incoming travellers if they are carrying pornography in a bid to block illegal pornographic material entering the country.
Ross Mansfield had his hard drive confiscated a fortnight ago when he was coming home from a holiday in the Philippines.
“They said I had some suspicious material on there.
“I said ‘I forgot to remove any porn because my friends in the Philippines, they download it, they’re mutual friends’.”
Mr Mansfield says despite the suspicious film was nothing more than standard porn.
“They (Customs) are violating my rights,” he told AAP.
