Well, post 19 is the PA announcement by the Captain to the pax, so I guess it had boarded!

Boarding had started, 23 souls on board. Unclear why the transponder was already active at this point.

Thanks for the clarification.

Still the aircraft was on the ground, at the gate. Sending someone to check what's going on ok. Hundreds of military police and F-16 seems a tad excessive (assuming what went down is what we are being told).
