Suspicious Suspect!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooooooooooooooooo, apparently I look like a suspicious suspect to airport security and immigration in Australia and New Zealand... First, when I first got to Australia on March 30th, I kept on getting stopped by airport personnel asking me various questions and then as I left Sydney this morning, I was stopped again... As I went through security, this woman asked me to come with her and she asked me to read this laminated piece of paper that explained that I had been "randomly" chosen for them to do an extra search of my carry on bag as well as my person!!! Both this woman and another man worked jointly to do the search of me!!! If I didn't allow them to do the search then I wouldn't have been able to board the plane... That was just the beginning!!! Then when I was going through immigration in Auckland this afternoon, the immigration officer saw that I had been to a few countries in the past 30 days so asked me if I had a return ticket for her to take a look at... I then pulled out my massive round the world ticket which she flipped through, and realized that I WASN'T planning on staying to work in New Zealand... At least not RIGHT NOW!!!!! :) Quite a day with security and immigration in this AMAZING part of the world!!! Hopefully South America will see that I am innocent and choose someone else to do the search on!!! Hehehe!!!
