Man distracted by his iPad causes airport terminal evacuation

It's not only on the plane that you have to worry about rude airline passengers.

One man in Sydney was so engrossed in something on his iPad that he walked into a restricted area of an airline terminal while bypassing security screening, prompting an alert.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, all passengers in the terminal were required to go through security screening again, resulting in a one-hour delay.

A Quantas spokeswoman said that the man causing the security alert departed. There was no indication as to what content on his iPad had distracted him so much.
