Would you look at that... Aussie cops first thing they do ask to stop filming them. Again.

Money recurring,I suggest that your criticism be directed toward the instigator of this incident rather than the guys who have to go in and sort out his mess.
After the 2 major events of the last few years,the last thing Malaysian needs is a wannabee hijacker stirring up trouble !

Filming of CT/Special Forces Pers
Even the Australian media respect the fact that CT/Special Foeces personnel are not to be filmed, or, at a minimum, their faces blurred. It is to protect the personal safety of those personnel and also so that their operational tactics are not disclosed to possible adversaries. That would be why they asked passengers to stop filming.
From the news, quoting some footy player...
If true where is the LRBL on that aircraft? It would surprise me if it was towards the front?
"Staff grabbed the object, which we're not sure what it was, he was claiming to blow the plane up with, and walked it back to the front of the plane."

Wouldn't transferring passengers onto buses seperate them from any neferious contents of hand baggage and so further reduce the risk?
I'm sure they did the best they could with what they had. We can always criticise & question in hindsight, with the facts available to us, and an analysis at our leisure.

90min wait.
I assume these Special Forces were all called out of bed at the odd hour? Or are these guys on standby 24/7?
Bit odd considering the AFP Facility is 500m away. The media didn't buy the Chief Commissioners excuses this morning for the wait either, got nailed.

The "alleged" perpetrator was bound up like a suckling pig, better point my semi automatic at him just in case.
The crew and passengers appear to have done a good job in "neutralising" the threat, hand him to the baggage handlers for special care.

Not sure I would be sitting on my hands for 1.5 hours if a guy had threatened the aircraft with a bomb. Possibly they figured out he wasn't the real deal, or he conceded once he was tied up but who's going to take that risk?
Maybe someone should ask why passengers are funding the AFP if they are not there when actually needed?
Sure someone can sleep in, miss the phone etc, but just send a squad car round there and haul him out of bed and whisk him to the airport. Doesn't take 90 minutes to do that.
I'm getting the impression this is another installment of that early 21st century work called 'Security Theater'

Aviation management consultant Trevor Jensen said the delay in the police response seemed to be excessive, and may have caused more stress to passengers.
Yes, but why are you keeping the passengers, the supposed device, and an aircraft full of fuel, in close proximity? If the device had been real, this would seem to overwhelm any potential issue from a possible other perp.
Your ignorant diatribe further demonstrates you have absolutely no idea.
Just how certain are you that the perpetrator was acting alone?
Until absolutely certain everyone on the aircraft is who they say they are and are not involved in the incident the threat still exists.
The second line was a joke, lighten up.
