They say that when the airport was closed another security team came upon them, and finally they were sorted out. Missed flights but able to book a hotel at least.
Glad [for them] it got sorted; but before we draw any conclusions, there is/was the possibility that their code didn't turn GREEN for a legit reason.
The hotel should have never let them out without it though; that fact remains.
