Dudu Gomes' arty slides- a threat to Australia's security?

This has never happened to me before-

Customs opened my mail art!!

They added this to the envelope.

Maybe they felt that the machine gun arty slide was a threat? Or the Osama/Obama?

Or maybe they just wanted to see what arty slides was all about? Thanks Dudu!!

If they did, they glued 'em back good and proper! Maybe they thought the mini gun was real?! Or actually the temporary address might seem a bit suspicious?

That's incredible! How crazy is that?

I do not have a solid idea about the implications of these authoritarian attitudes in pursuit of "national security" but in fact I am happy to imagine their reaction when they found my works.

I thank the Australian's post for the add and pass. ;)
