Brisbane Airport has been thrown into chaos after a technical fault at security forced thousands of people to be re-screened.
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.'
