Adrian Francis Rodney Russell was spotted with the potential weapon at Sydney International Airport on July 23, 2024 as his United Airlines plane taxied out to the runway to take off to Los Angeles.
An elderly doctor has been admonished in court for bringing a box-cutter on a long-distance flight to treat his skin condition, causing hours-long delays for hundreds of fellow passengers.
The plane was returned to the terminal, all passengers were required to be screened again through security and police searched the plane for any other prohibited items, delaying the departure by two hours and 40 minutes. He appeared from his home by video-link for sentence at Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday with numerous pieces of artwork seen hanging behind him.Russell told police he had not noticed the blade until he opened his medicine pouch on the plane.
Magistrate Jennifer Atkinson concurred, finding the offence proven but dismissing the case without conviction.
