Several years ago, there was an adverse US report on the security at Bali Airport. As a result of this report, Qantas/Jetstar employ private security guards at Bali Airport.
I had to go through five security checks before I got onto a Jetstar plane including a pat down check. On the third last check all liquids in large bottles were confiscated from carry on luggage including duty free alcohol. One fellow even tried to drink his alcohol before he reached this particular checkpoint! At least three of these checks were performed by security guards employed by JAS (the QANTAS/Jetstar ground handling agent).
In February next year, I am flying with Jetstar to Bali and returning via KL with AA.
