Cutting some security slack

To a certain extend, I do agree that airport security measures can be such a pain in the ass, especially when some airports do tend to take their security measures to the extreme. It is so bloody inconvenient to be removing your shoes, your belts, your jackets, emptying your pockets and what nots in the name of security. However, I also understand the reasons behind it and what better way than just to comply for that few minutes of inconvenience for a better peace of mind.

Thailand, of course, as always, has her way of doing things. One of which is a new rule to drop the pre-boarding screening procedures. What scares me is not the fact that they are slacking off here, rather the drop of this measure will essentially breach global aviation security standards. TiT.

Somehow, I do think that their priority should be first to drop off the scams that have been going on at the duty-free area in Suvarnabhum.

Even I was about to ask the same question?!

As for the topic, I always felt that most of the security measures are merely hogwash. At least we can lead a better life, between the blasts..!! (I am talking with respect to the Bombay attacks of last year!)

Yes..that Bombay attack last year was a big shocker.That bombay attack should not have been allowed to happen, but I'm sure that is a wake-up call to everyone who never woudl have suspected India would be attacked. And it is also true that security measures can be hogwash at times. They are also numerous times when the metal detector starts beeping, not one guard actually bothers to check and just let people through anyow.it makes you wonder sometimes...
