I had to laugh this evening when I was dropping a relative at Sydney Domestic airport at 5:30 pm. A fairly busy time of the week, Sunday afternoon with many people returning home.

We were running earlier than scheduled & I had promised the kids some Crispe Cream Donuts. So we picked the donuts up first from the store located on airport near the terminal.

I observed a security gaurd on duty walking around the carpark during the five or so minutes we were parked there.

We then headed down to the terminal & I thought on the way I'd count how many security gaurds were visible roadside at the terminal departures level.

ZERO !!!

With heightened security & all I thought I'd at least spot one. Maybe caught them at a bad time. Maybe a shift change? Maybe plain clothed?

Have I missed something, has there been any specific threats on Donuts?
