A man travelling on a Canadian passport was stopped at an Australian airport on Friday after medical equipment used to perform beauty treatments was found in his luggage. Australian Border Force agents said about 40 syringes, needle tips and a variety of beauty treatments that are typically injected into the skin were found in a search of his luggage at Melbourne international airport. Although the items are not prohibited from entering the country, officers accused him of planning to perform unlicensed and “potentially lethal” beauty treatments in Australia. His Electronic Travel Authority, which provides authorization to travel to and enter Australia and is electronically linked to a passport, was cancelled. A fourth Canadian woman arrested in that scheme has not yet had her case heard in court.
