Airport Security
Flying to the US? What should you expect?

On Christmas Day 2009 a passenger jet carrying 278 passengers and 11 crew members from Amsterdam was preparing to land in Detroit just before midday when the attempted a ledged terrorist attack took place. A Nigerian man who studied at a British University has been charged with attempting to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253. |

Alarm bells were raised when fellow passengers began to smell smoke, saw a glow and heard what was described as firecrackers. This was the sound of the suspect trying to ignite an explosive device, luckily the heroics of a fellow passenger and cabin crew managed to put a stop to it. This attempt will obviously have a great affect on airport security, as many people will be asking, how was the passenger able to board the flight carrying an explosive device? Apparently the bomb making components were mixed in-flight. Police are working with their American colleagues to uncover the full background to the incident. |
