excerpt from: New U.S. air traveller screening focuses on 14 nations
by James Vicini, Reuters, 4 January 2010
| Quote: | [Foreign] passengers travelling from or through nations listed as “state sponsors of terrorism” – Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria, […] Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen – […] will face full-body pat downs before boarding airliners under new security screening procedures […] (*)
Such passengers will be patted down, have their carry-on luggage searched and could undergo advanced explosive detection or imaging scans, according to [a U.S.] official. […]
The procedures, which go into effect on Monday, follow the botched Christmas Day bombing attempt on a Detroit-bound U.S. airliner blamed on a Nigerian man who U.S. officials believe was trained by al Qaeda in Yemen. |

excerpts from: Vigilance key to tackling terrorist threat – PM
by UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Number 10 website, 1 January 2010
| Quote: | “[T]he failed attack in Detroit on Christmas Day reminds us of a deeper reality; that almost 10 years after September 11th international terrorism is still a very real threat. […]
These enemies of democracy and freedom – now trying to mastermind death and destruction from Yemen as well as other better-known homes of international terror such as Pakistan and Afghanistan – are concealing explosives in ways which are more difficult to detect. […] We now know that the would-be bomber used a small quantity of explosive that went undetected by standard airport security equipment. […]
So – in cooperation with President Obama and the Americans – we will examine a range of new techniques to enhance airport security systems […] These could include advancing our use of explosive trace technology, full body scanners and advanced x-ray technology.” |
