| Two arrested over airport computer theft |
| 2003-09-18 |
| Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers have arrested two men over the theft of two computers from a secure area at Sydney airport last month. Customs Minister Chris Ellison launched an independent review of security at the airport customs office after the computer mainframes were stolen. Senator Ellison has now revealed the AFP has arrested and charged two men over the theft. They were taken into custody last night. Senator Ellison says he has been assured by the AFP the theft was not an attack on national security. Police will allege the computers were sold for profit before being recovered by authorities. Two men will face court next month. |

| #1 Boys, you need to stick with rifling the luggage. Lifting a couple of mainframe terminals from a system that services highly classified info, is not very smart. Not as dumb as backpacking in jungle frequented by communist revolutionaries, but still not very smart. |
