You're braver than me.
Yet, I have all the booze in the world at home and at the office.

It's an awful system indeed, but it's not the Gestapo either (at least in my area). It's not Saudi Arabia.

Also, the worst that can happen to me by not declaring the iMac is that they make me pay the import duties. There is no such a thing as being flagged by customs for the foreseeable future like in the US and Canada. So, I'll try my luck not to pay that stupid duty.

I should also mention that the "fun police" is also one of the most corrupt police forces on the surface of this earth. Money will wash your sins, brother.
