A funny thing happened on QF706...
Came home this morning on QF706 departing ADL 06:40 arriving CBR 08:50.
Pretty uneventful flight until after we landed. We were taxiing and got announcements that security at CBR airport advised we must go directly to the arrivals hall (outside screening) on arrival.
I thought there must be a security scare or something (there was a gas leak a few months ago) and that the building was evacuated and we were going to be pushed through the building.
When we walked out of the gate though they had put up those tape barriers to make a path to the exit from our gate. There were people, and police!, on either side so the building was not evacuated. We were just clearly identified as required to leave on arrival.
I wonder if there was a screening issue at ADL after we left and they felt the need to push us out of the 'sterile' area.
It was clearly indicated as applying to all passengers with any on connecting flights (possible from CBR?) having to re-enter the terminal.
Anybody know anything about why this happened?

Very very odd - and I'm maddeningly curious about it now!

Maybe send Simon at AH an email. Even though his site normally only deals with "in air" stuff he usually has his ear to the ground.
