Recently I was working in Burnie, Tasmania in Australia and thought the security in the local airports were rediculous. I understand that Tasmania is very rural and that most people on the island are wonderful, but you never know. Anyways here is the situation at the Burnie and Devonport Airport. You drive up to the check in, check in your bags, walk outside and onto your Qantas or REX flight, no security check or anything. Once you arrive in Melbourne, you get off the plane, walk outside on the Tarmac, enter Melbourne Airport and then go thought a metal detector. I thought it was pretty amusing.
