New Delhi: Airport security has acquired a different meaning since September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attack in New York in which around 2,900 people had died, as it has taught that aircraft could be used as weapons of mass destruction, the Delhi High Court has said.
The court's observation came as it dismissed the plea of an entity providing services to Emirates Airline passengers at the IGI airport here challenging government's decision denying security clearance to it on the ground of adverse report received from security agency.
The court said it does not find "any error" in denial of security clearance to the entity, M/s Add Lounge Services Pvt Ltd, as "larger public interest has to prevail over private interest".
"Airport security since September 11, 2001 incident, leading to the fall of World Trade Center in New York, has acquired a different meaning. The same has taught humanity that aircraft can be used as weapons of destruction not only of those travelling therein but also of others i.E. Of mass destruction of those to whom they may be diverted," Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said.
