India's airport security being beefed up

New Delhi: Days after an attempted attack on board a Detroit-bound American plane, security at Indian airports is being beefed up with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) deciding to have a re-look at the present systems and regulations.
In view of the failed attempt to blow up the Northwest Airlines plane, "we are having a re-look at the entire gamut of security systems which are already in place," official sources told PTI.
International airports from South Korea to Paris have ramped up security leading to long queues and inconvenience to passengers, mostly holiday travellers.
Airlines managed to keep the disruptions and delays to a minimum though, by giving many travellers advance warning of the new security measures.
Carriers in the US and Europe were asking passengers to carry only one hand baggage and arrive at airports early for additional security checks.
