I don’t think the news is the swine flu. The news is some idiot trying to smuggle sausages into Japan. Hopefully, his penalty is severe enough to make him think twice about doing it again.

The passenger was asked to abandon the sausages

"I say, would you mind awfully abandoning your sausages?"

It sounds like there was a choice in the matter: surely the sausages were seized and a large fine imposed?
