It is believed the man yelled to passengers and crew that he had blood filled syringes,and that the plane will not make it to Brisbane. The captain radioed emergency services,and the plane was stopped and boarded by federal police who arrested the man

I would think a syringe is difficult to spot, especially as modern ones have really tiny needles and they probably don’t set off the metal detectors.
In this instance, I can’t blame security as I am at a loss to how a recurrence would be prevented, within the bounds of decency and dignity.
