Hugging at one New Zealand airport could get you in trouble. It set a three-minute limit on hugging at the drop-off zone. This is to keep traffic moving. People are taking too long to say goodbye. The airport now has signs that say: "Max hug time 3 minutes. For fonder farewells, please use the car park."

The hugging policy is not popular. The airport has had many complaints. People accused them of "breaching basic human rights". Someone called the policy "inhumane". The airport said: "Three minutes is plenty of time to pull up, say farewell to your loved ones and move on." He said a 20-second hug was "really awkward".
