Hubli: : The terrorist threat to blow up London's Heathrow airport using female suicide bombers with explosives concealed in breast implants has prompted Hubli airport authorities to put in place more women security personnel on its premises.
Sources said airport authorities are finding it difficult to check all women passengers due to lack of women security personnel. KM Basavaraj, director, Hubli Airport, said, "The number of women passengers has increased after flights to Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore were introduced. Of 78 seats, about 30%-40% passengers are women in flights to Banglaore and Delhi."
He added, "We have only two women security personnel trained in anti-sabotage and anti-hijack tasks and they frisk women passengers. They're not enough to subject each woman passenger to a thorough checking as it takes a lot of time," he said.
