Police Escorted Passengers Off A Melb Qantas Flight After A ‘Yuge Security Breach At Syd Airport

A Qantas passenger achieved the unthinkable this week and committed an act I genuinely never thought was possible. No, they didn’t slurp a vape in their seat during takeoff and get away with it. They boarded a plane in Sydney without going through security, which meant more than 200 passengers had to be re-screened once the plane landed in Melbourne. Border Security has been found shaking. The incident occurred on Wednesday, which is certainly one way to spice up Hump Day. A Qantas spokesperson told The Guardian

“As a precaution, all passengers on QF487 were escorted from the aircraft when it landed in Melbourne and taken through the screened part of the airport into the unscreened area.”

“We will investigate to understand how this incident occurred and we apologise for any inconvenience to passengers on the flight.”

“I was passenger zero, if you want to call it that,” he told Melbourne’s 3AW. He said he’d flown into Sydney Airport from Orange, which did not have security screening, so the inspection was missed during the transfer. He also said passengers would typically “be directed out of the airport once landing in Sydney, and made to come back through to be checked before boarding their next flight”. It all sounds like a big ol’ whoopsie daisy if you ask me.
