Re: Sydney in a day.

The explosives check isn't random. It is supposed to be continuous screening, meaning they pick the first person once they're ready to do someone. The trick is to make sure you don't pass by just when they've finished up with someone.

I fumble putting my things back in pockets etc if needed, or alternatively race through with a practiced swoop to collect bag and any loose items. Almost every time this trick works. When it doesn't is if only pax transferring int->int - no choice but to get the "random" check then.
