False alarm, was a controlled demo of unattended baggage.
Yep. Probably protocol for the raised threat level though.
A map of phonemes across the continent? So you can make sure you're using the right pronunciation for the right location?
Strict legal gun ownership. For illegal use, it's pretty much anything goes.
Two shootings in my neck of the woods last weekend.
Yep, you need a permit for a pistol or "military style" weapon (as opposed to just being a registered firearm owner). Most illegal firearms are sawn off shotguns, and .22 I believe.

The second point is important as all cultures exist harmoniously in NZ for the most part (even protestant and catholic kek). Division had been tried in the past and it hasn't worked. The worst division I can remember is actually Samoans vs. Tongans and that got sorted out with dialogue (pacific community media).
