Top secret airport files stolen
September 5, 2003

THE Australian Federal Police and Customs were investigating the theft of computer equipment from the cargo processing and intelligence centre at Sydney International Airport, an AFP spokeswoman said today.


The AFP have not confirmed what data was stolen.


Customs officials have said the stolen computers held thousands of confidential files, including top-secret communications between customs investigators, the AFP and ASIO.

But the AFP would not confirm exactly what was stolen.

the work of terrorist? i think so what are your thoughts

More likely, the work of smugglers, considering what is generally believed to be stolen....

There is almost zero information that a terrorist cannot get publicly, to carry out a highjacking, and it's far too easy to smuggle a weapon aboard without strip-searching everyone at the terminal.... The info that was stolen, simply isn't needed by highjackers, but would certainly be good for smugglers....

This was a blatent coverup by customs.


They did not come clean until the media caught on to the story.

I saw the minister responsible on the ABC.

She admitted that they tried to keep it quiet so that the public would not be alarmed.
