On Monday night, the threat of police action at Hong Kong airport sent hundreds of protesters pouring to buses and trains.

But no officers ever arrived -- and now, with the airport swamped for the second straight night, protesters say they're confident they won't show.

Two students, who asked not to be named, said that while inbound flights were still touching down, police wouldn't attempt to clear the airport.

"Other people from other countries are coming to Hong Kong so if the police come here and do something dangerous, it will hurt other countries' people too," one female protester said.

"So we feel this is more safe to just sit and say what we want. It's more safe than going outside."

Recent weekend protests have seen violent clashes between police and demonstrators, including widespread use of tear gas and improvised weapons.
