Serious security threat at International Airports



Serious security threat at International Airports - Govt. least bothered 

''this is true. I travel 2-3 times in a year to Calicut (my hometown);  and 'am a periodic traveler to other countries. I have noticed the vulnerable gaps and the lapse in many airport procedures'; which the authorities are not even concerned about. Their basic role is to mint money..! Their basic oath to the nation is to: 'live to trouble others' and not 'live to make pride'..! We have to understand the ground facts and needs to look at the big picture; the image of Calicut city as an instance and India as a whole is represented at the entry ports and those who have closer ties with the authorities and with political influences are even exempted. Shame on the fragile policies..! 

Another key note which I would like to put up here is; (which evidently most of you might have noticed) Most of the Customs authorities sit at the check points after consumption of liquors. If the responsible authorities check the airport staff with 'Breathalyzers Screening Devices' to check a person's blood-alcohol content, then we are sure it will be a flash news. 

Another frustration which we normally encounter is that there is no proper system at airports to deliver the baggage to the right individual. Anyone can take any-others baggage if unnoticed. Individuals might take others luggage deliberately or inadvertently as there is no controlled system in the airports. In fact, the airline authorities needs to take certain measures from their end to provide additional luggage security. An additional control could be empowered just by verifying the luggage tag code vs passenger ticket tag code"

In reality, we need to have an action oriented Govt.; who listens to the public. A cell with falcon eye, who monitors the evil factors.
