Security personnel take no chances
K.T. Sangameswaran
CHENNAI:
Flowers are a thing of beauty, but if kept in a polythene packet and abandoned in an area where security is tight, and that too in an airport, it may be considered a potential threat.
Security personnel at the Anna International Airport did not want to take any chances, especially when the Governor was scheduled to attend a function there.
As soon as such a packet was sighted on a chair, a security personnel brought the necessary equipment and had it thoroughly checked.
Later, he asked a person to take it away, which order was promptly carried out.
The heightened security consciousness was not confined to abandoned packages.
Presspersons and photographers who were given a "daily permit" by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security and carried an invitation to the function were also not allowed to go beyond a particular point even after they and their belongings were checked at three points.
