Soviet Couriers Refused Security Checks Delayed in Sydney
Two Soviet diplomatic couriers were stranded in Sydney after three international airline pilots refused to board them for failing to undergo routine body screening. The incident began with a Catatas flight booking from Sydney to Pontdan, then moved to British Airways despite the couriers’ refusals. After a hours long discussion, the men were moved to a waiting car as officials of the Soviet Consulate and Foreign Affairs debated next steps. The Soviet Consul-General called the action a serious violation of diplomatic rights.

Refusal by Soviet Couriers Embarrasses Australian Governmen
The obstinacy of Soviet couriers in refusing ICAO security searches risks the Australian Government’s position. ICAO rules require searches for arms on international flights, with diplomatic immunity not extending to the pouches or personal effects. If not resolved, a Royal Australian Air Force charter could arise, recalling a Perth incident earlier this year.
