How the rules for screening passengers at Turkish airports will change
It is reported that the updated rules will be brought into line with the Chicago Convention.
The latter provides for the following: representatives of the airport security service can inspect the belongings of passengers at the entrance to the terminal or boarding area.
It is emphasized that we are talking not only about personal luggage, but also about gadgets.
If a person does not allow security officers to inspect his belongings, he will be deprived of the opportunity to be at the airport.
If items are found that cannot be transported, they will be confiscated.
The adopted amendments also provide for some other innovations.
It was previously reported that the balloon was carrying 22 passengers.
