Always amused at the drivers license requirement for ID considering that SA licenses were always marked "Not to be used as a means of identification" since it was relatively easy to get one.

Urgh, tell me about. I am constantly discovering the highly variable sensitivities of airport metal detectors. The ones in Adelaide seem to have pretty high tolerances. At other airports I am often picked up for the same pair of shoes or sometimes item of jewellery that the Adelaide machines didn't bother about.
