Suspicious package at Tauranga Airport

A suspicious package closed Tauranga Airport for a few hours today. Once the experts were bought in, the package was nothing to worry about. Details are on the Stuff website, as follows:

Tauranga is one of the busiest airports in the country. Traffic mainly consists of light GA aircraft [much of it VFR and IFR training aircraft], but also includes a small number of scheduled IFR Air Transport flights [you'll notice that the Stuff article only mentions about 10 scheduled flights]

There have got to be quite a number of extremely hacked off [but relieved] people out there...
