DALLAS – Passengers travelling through Melbourne (MEL) and Adelaide (ADL) Airports have faced chaos after two separate security breaches meant passengers were forced to be re-screened.
At MEL, a passenger was able to slip past security undetected, forcing all Qantas (QF) passengers to be evacuated from Terminal One. Long queues formed as passengers had to be reprocessed through security.
Precautionary Evacuation
It is believed the passenger accidentally gained access from the baggage area. When security could not locate them, the order was made to evacuate the terminal. Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers spoke to the man but brought no charges.
