So let me get this straight.
You overheard a woman you do
NOT know telling someone she probably does not know, all this fiction, and you report it here as a Newsflash as if it is Gospel Truth?
Reads more like a 'National Enquirer" story - or fodder for Jerry Springer. Have no idea why this arrant 4th hand nonsense finds its way onto FT?
I fly into this country MANY times a year and have done for 35 years. From various NZ cities, from LAX, SFO, HKG, BKK, SIN - and many times in recent years on MH from KUL.
No sprays on any of them for at least 10 years I'd say. So these fanciful Star Wars characters seem to bypass my planes.
"some men dressed in facemasks & big gear with tanks & soprayers."
As of about 10 years back there was a perfunctory spray by Quarantine staff who walked once up each aisle with an aerosol can the size of what you use each day. They were dressed in short pants and short sleeves. I missed the face masks and big tanks on the guys I saw.
AFAIK now planes from any possible risk countries get a spray BEFORE pax board. But what would I know.
