It's barmy when the aircraft has unexpectedy diverted somewhere, and doubly barmy when the sector just flown is SYD-BNE, so all pax would already have been screened to Australian standards anyway.
But it's different from when a passenger's own itinerary would always have required passing through a screening point that does not permit liquids.
