Thousands of passengers have been forced to undergo security rescreening at Brisbane Airport
The fault was found in a single metal detector at the domestic terminal on Monday, which delayed about 10 flights departing from for one hour or longer, according to the Courier Mail.
A Brisbane Airport spokesman said everyone who was inside the terminal had to be re-screened.
'The fault was quickly identified and there is no safety or security threat,' a spokesman said.
'However, it will take some time to re-screen all passengers and staff, delaying flights.
'We apologise for the inconvenience and thank passengers for their patience and understanding.
'Our care team has been activated and is on the ground to support passengers.'

Cop allegedly filmed pushing woman outside a NSW school after another woman was threatened, car window smashed
A police officer has been filmed allegedly pushing a woman to the ground outside a NSW school. The alleged incident was captured on mobile phone footage and circulated on social media. A spokesman from NSW Police said the footage circulating on social media was being reviewed. The incident allegedly unfolded outside a school on Majara St in Bungendore, about 40km east of Canberra about 2.50pm on July 22 as police were investigating rocks being thrown at a car. A woman and boy have been charged over an alleged incident outside after a woman was allegedly threatened after her car window was smashed by a rock. Police were inside a building at the school following reports a boy had been threatened, when another 15-year-boy allegedly threw a rock at a woman's car as she drove past shattering a window. A police spokesman said the woman stopped and got out of her car and was threatened and chased by the 15-year-old boy and a 32-year-old woman known to him. Witnesses and a police officer intervened and arrested the boy, but the 32-year-old woman allegedly became aggressive towards the officer and attempted to physically intervene. Police warned her multiple times, and while the boy was being placed into the police vehicle she allegedly threatened the other woman again. A senior constable returned to the scene and arrested the 32-year-old woman who was taken to Queanbeyan Police Station with the boy. The boy was charged with stalking and intimidation, contravening an AVO and destroying or damaging property. He was granted conditional bail, to appear at a children's court on August 11. The woman was charged with hindering or resisting a police officer on duty and two counts of stalking and intimidation.

Picture imperfect
And now to the leafy north shore of Sydney where a wild soiree took a turn for the worse: EMILY FRANCIS: A night of partying ending in violence. A schoolboy stabbed with a kitchen knife inside this Mosman home. - Seven News 6pm (Sydney), 19 July 2025 A house party descending into a brawl that landed a teenager in hospital and stunned the neighbourhood: TEENAGER 1: Yeah, it was a bit of shock. TEENAGER 2: They go to another school and I think they're in the same year as me… WOMAN: It's very unfortunate and I hope that boy is okay. - Seven News 6pm (Sydney), 19 July 2025 After charges were laid against two suspects aged 18 and 20 years old, Sydney's trusty crime almanac The Daily Telegraph blew the lid off the story: Two self-appointed bouncers at a teenager's Mosman house party allegedly stomped on one guest and stabbed another in the thigh with a kitchen knife in front of horrified revellers. - The Daily Telegraph, 21 July 2025 Lavishing every brutal detail: Police allege a 16-year-old boy feared he was going to die as a knife was held to his throat … - The Daily Telegraph, 21 July 2025 The 'exclusive' yarn also ran online via the Tele's homepage and its social media and in The Mosman Daily, another News Corp publication. And front and centre of all the stories was another get—a photograph of one of the young men charged with the stabbing, 20-year-old Hugo Phipson. Just a small problem however, the person in that photo isn't Hugo Phipson at all. In fact, his name is Angus Bendall. Phipson, as it turns out, is the blurred figure on the left. Many in the neighbourhood immediately recognised Angus from the picture, which he has granted us permission to reuse, in part because Angus Bendall is the son of Roy Bendall, once deputy mayor of Mosman, whose former constituents upon reading the news vented their displeasure. Just heard about your son stabbing someone that's disgusting i supported you handing out flyers to help you get elected for representing the community dont count on my support again get your shit sorted. - Text to Roy Bendall, 25 July 2025 In fact, poor old Angus had spent the night in question innocently watching a flick with his girlfriend and had woken the following Monday to find his face splashed across the tabloid: My first reaction was I was like, 100% sure that it was some joke … … and then a fear and anxiety. What's going to happen from this? Who's going to see this? - Angus Bendall, 31 July 2025 So how did The Daily Telegraph get it so wrong? It declined to say. But after Roy Bendall engaged lawyers, the image began to disappear from the paper's website and social media channels. A few days later, no doubt after the exchange of legal letters, a mea culpa materialised in News Corp's online mastheads nationwide. And in the local papers: Mr Bendall has no association whatsoever with the allegations described in the article and was not present at the party. - The Daily Telegraph, 25 July 2025 Mr Bendall has no association whatsoever with the allegations described in the article and was not present at the party. - The Mosman Daily, 31 July 2025 It is not the first time a news organisation, in its rush to be first, has scraped the internet for a photo and misidentified someone accused of a crime, and to err is human, of course. But in the modern era where every word and photograph ever published seems to reside in everyone's pocket, the damage is lasting: Even now I'm still saying to people that it's not true … what hurt the most, what did the most damage, was [The Daily Telegraph] sharing it on social media … it just had his photo and the headline. - Roy Bendall, 29 July 2025 The Telegraph, like every publisher who does so, should be acknowledged for correcting its error and issuing an apology, which will inevitably cost it some pretty coin. But a better lust for accuracy than speed would provide its readers whose photographs also lie scattered about the internet with surely the higher service.
