    Townsville Security

    In all my travels it continues to have the most unpleasant and unpredictable security experience apart from the USA. Sometimes fine, other times just difficult. YMMV obviously.

    Townsville Security

    Yep, Townsville particularly officious and annoying in the last 12 months at security - not just the ipad thing, also the attitude and the slowness.
