Security loophole at Sydney Airport
We flew back into Sydney Airport on Saturday, from Tokyo.
Me and my wife bought ourselves 4 bottles of Vodka from the duty free shop.
I asked that we will now go to Brisbane via Domestic Transfer, and asked if I need to place the bottles into checked luggage, as it is well know that liquids are not allowed through security checkpoints, anything over 100mls.
She said, no its ok, thats only for International.
So we went through customs, then made our way through the arrival hall, and onto the Qantas Domestic transfer checkin area.
We then went through security screening, and the bottles were just scanned along with our baggage, and we were given the all clear, and we now made our way to our domestic flight up to Brisbane.
Now I thought this was strange.
We walked through the arrivals hall at the international, through the public.
This in my oppinion is a serious security loophole.
A member of the public could have exchanged my vodka bottles with some dangerous explosive liquid, and I could have had carried that with me straight onto a qantas aircraft.
I thought I would raise this to see peoples thoughts.
At Brisbane, I had my toothpaste tube confiscated at the security screening, and I was led to beleive that no liquids over 100mls are allowed past security screening ???
Cheers,
