Maybe there's some kind of inter-airport security competition going on?
- SACL posted last Friday a 'Security Awareness' newsletter to all who hold a SACL security/access card - rather a strange 4 pages stating the absolute obvious - all individually addressed and even with a first name salutation.
The reported 12 hours to resolve the issue in PER is a little over the top - I was in Singapore a week ago and one of the shopping centres had a similar incident - centre cleared, package & bag x-rayed and removed and centre re-opened - time taken = 35 minutes.
I'm all for keeping it safe and secure, but I can't help thinking that the paranoid meter at a few Australian airports is running a little into the red zone.
