Picture: Marc Robertson Source: News Limited SECURITY screenings have returned to normal following a security breach at Brisbane Airport which caused major delays. Hundreds of Qantas passengers remained stranded in the domestic terminal at 6.30pm, with lines three wide for about 250m. The security screening started working again at about 6.30pm but not before causing heavy delays. Fed up passengers are also lying and sitting on the ground while they wait for their flight number to be called. Solonica Bauer was one of thousands forced to line up again to go through security at Brisbane Airport Wednesday night. Picture: Marc Robertson Solonica Bauer, 32, has been waiting at the airport since she arrived at 5.30pm for a 6.50pm flight to Bundaberg for work. She had planned to skip the airline food and eat dinner at the airport but when she arrived the line of people was already halfway down the terminal. "I probably could have driven there in the time I've been sitting here," she said. Many passengers resorted to sitting or lying on the floors after thousands were forced to line up for security checks again at Brisbane Airport. Mrs Bauer said she's never seen such a large backlog of would-be fliers at an airport. I've never been hit with something like this before. Qantas staff are calling individual flight numbers to bring passengers through the security point. A SECURITY screening blunder has led to chaos at Brisbane Domestic Airport, with thousands of passengers facing lengthy delays during peak flight traffic hours. Problems with security checks at the QANTAS end of the terminal detected around 5pm led authorities to evacuate the domestic lounge. Every passenger has been forced to rejoin queues to undergo security screening again. A Brisbane Airport Corporation spokeswoman said it was not known how long passengers would be delayed but those waiting to board flights would be the worst affected. "It's not ideal, it's one of the busiest times of the day during a weekday, it's in our peak travel time," she said. Unfortunately there will be delays, particularly for departing passengers, but I can't give any indication as to how long that will be. The Australian Federal Police were not investigating but had been told the reported security breach followed the discovery that a group of people weren't screened properly, an AFP spokeswoman said. The BAC spokeswoman said: "There's a procedure we have to follow to ensure our safety standards and we're in the midst of it now."
