Travellers going through Auckland Airport’s domestic terminal faced disruption this morning after an individual refused to comply with screening protocol and entered a restricted area. At 6.40am, a passenger refused to follow all instructions when going through security screening, a spokesperson for Aviation Security Services told the Herald.
“A passenger undergoing security screening refused to fully comply with the process and left the screening point into a restricted area prior to the process being complete.” The person was found by Aviation security officers then removed from the restricted area. “As a result, the terminal was emptied and rescreened,” the spokesperson said.
