I did a turnaround at least once each before and after 9/11. At each time, I had to have my carry-ons screened before entering the gate area for a CX flight. I wasn't released into the same gate area where departing pax were waiting for the flight. It was partitioned and I needed to get into the partitioned area. But maybe my experiences were perhaps exceptions.</font>
During maybe the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002, gates 8 & 10 at the end of the concourse did have a secondary security checkpoint in place, and for some reason CX were allocated those gates by AKL. That practice stopped around April 2002 and now even if the CX flight parks at those gates the security checkpoint won't be active.
