American traveller Dylan O'Byrne may be hit with a £394 ($500) fine after US Customs officers flagged a prohibited item in his bag—a banana.
O'Byrne, who had spent three weeks travelling through Southeast Asia, picked up the fruit at an airport lounge in Germany during a layover on his way home to New York. Thinking nothing of it, he placed the banana in his bag as a snack for the flight.
