‘Easter chaos as thousands of passengers stranded
Jetstar is working to get 2000 stranded passengers on their way after a security lapse at Sydney Airport caused a disastrous shutdown.
A power failure caused a security screening checkpoint in the T2 terminal to malfunction at 3.15pm yesterday, leading to 16 passengers walking through without being screened.
Sydney Airport ordered the re-screening of the entire terminal, including many of those already on board aircraft waiting to take off….’
Wabbit knows a bit about security and the process of screening passengers is an effing joke. Some simple commonsense–such as waving 80 year-old grannies through-would help. But more than that, as long as luggage is loaded on to aircraft without rigorous screening then all other security measures are useless. Airport “security” has become an expensive feast for petty bureaucrats and a massive burden on travellers.
