In November I applied for GE, got approved and last week, during my GE interview, this was mentioned [and was warned that I could lose GE if I do this again], but it didn't affect them approving my GE.

What was interesting is that this offence was with a different nationality/passport than the one for my GE application [under the same name].
Why didn't you just toss the orange in the trash, in the bathroom preferably, before hitting Customs?
