    A Happy Ending...

    Singapore pair 'tried to buy iPhones at airport without flying'

    The launch of the latest iPhone last week saw the usual excited queues forming outside Apple shops.
    But two Singaporeans allegedly thought they had found a new way of queue jumping, and saving some money, by buying plane tickets so they could pick up the iPhone 7 at Changi Airport.
    They were arrested on 16 September for breaking airport laws.
    Police said they had "no intention" of leaving Singapore so should not have been in the departure hall.
    The two have been charged under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act. They face a fine of up to 1,000 Singapore dollars ($735; £565) and a jail term of up to two years if convicted.

    All iPhone buyers should be charged, convicted and imprisoned...

    Jesus, they didn't commit armed robbery, it wasn't shop lifting, the airport shop got paid, that's a harsh punishment for shopping.
    When here in England big supermarkets don't even bother prosecuting real thieving shoplifters.

    I suspect it's the security implications that were the issue, rather than them getting a poxy piece of shit iphone before anyone else.
