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.

A Qantas Boeing 737 has just made an uneventful routine landing at Melbourne Airport and immediately directed by ATC to gate 5. Passengers were all thanked for flying Qantas and requested to leave the aircraft and proceed direct to the baggage carousel. 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?
