A day after UK and US imposed strict restrictions on hand baggages to be carried inside airplanes, India tightened the screws on its security norms and banned carrying of liquids (including beverages), gels, cosmetic lotions and toothpastes. It has also decided to strictly enforce the 'one handbag per passenger' norm on all its flights. "If passengers are carrying a laptop with them, they will have to decide to either check-in the hand baggage or the laptop as only one item will be permitted inside the aircraft," said civil aviation secretary Ajay Prasad.

But even this purse should be emptied of all cosmetics, like sun-tan lotions, nail polishes, lip paints and shampoos.

Even baby food, including milk, would be allowed to be taken on-board only if a baby or small child is travelling. Everything else has to be checked-in with the hold luggage," Prasad said. These restrictions, he said, have been put in place in view of the revelation by UK authorities that terrorists had planned to blow airplanes using liquid explosives. "Since there is no equipment to check liquid explosives, we are banning carrying of all liquids inside the aircraft cabin," he added. Besides, the Indian authorities are also increasing the number of sky marshals to be randomly deputed inside flights, and tighter passenger and baggage screening mechanisms are being put in place at all airports. embroidered patches Also, airlines have been advised to start check-in procedures for all flights 90 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time and close check-in counters 30 minutes before departure. "This will give the authorities enough time to carefully screen all passengers and baggages. Airlines have been asked to inform passengers that the reporting time for all domestic flights is 90 minutes before scheduled departure. For international flights, the reporting time is three hours before departure time," Prasad said. Other articles: http://www.lc869.com/Blog/View/?288 浏览(2850) | 回复(7559)
