I see nothing out of the ordinary at any stage during skybus, lower hall, checkin, screening (except that i didn't get sniffed this time) border security, duty free or the boarding lounge. if i hear any loud noises i will let you know.

the boarding gate was changed at short notice form one of the outer ones to one of the closer ones - just after i got to the first one.

boarding soon.

Some however, were seen immediately leaving the terminal and boarding taxis for unknown destinations. 13 year veteran cabbie Ivanna Benderova said she had experienced this many times before, often they were men in business suits, carrying briefcases. An airport spokesperson who declined to be named said "nothing to see here, move along..."

Probably a dry run in anticipation of the Malasia solution?

Now that could be worth watching.

Given that The Age seemingly didn't even run the story and that a letter was confiscated by police from the Herald Sun, one wonders if it really was a credible threat and if it went anywhere other than to the offices of the Herald Sun.
