SECURITY AT SYDNEY
All Blacks At Airport
(N Z P.A Staff Correspondent) SYDNEY, June 12.
Strict security precautions will be observed at Sydney International Airport when the All Blacks pass through tomorrow. Security checks will include a search of the hand luggage of all passengers boarding the aircraft, carrying the All Blacks to Perth.
Passengers travelling on Ansett Airlines flight 244. leaving Sydney at 7.15 p.m. Australian time, will also be screened. A spokesman for Ansett said today: “We don’t want any interference with our flight or customers." The Ansett spokesman said that the security arrangements had been requested by Qantas, which will bring the All Blacks to Sydney from Wellington.
The authorities are concerned, it is understood, about the possibility of demonstrations, or action by cranks, during the AU Blacks stopover. Fears of this were heightened by trouble at Sydney Airport on Wednesday. Demonstrators protesting against the visit to Australia of the South African women's net-ball team clashed with the police.
