Brussels
airport is getting back to normal, after the terrorist explosions of 22 March. Today
it was a special day. The TV channels have shown the repaired departures hall
and interviewed some of the checking-in staff.
It was very moving to see how motivated they are. That´s a great
response to the forces of darkness and madness.
But
the security procedures that have been implemented today were not smart. Passengers
had to wait for two or more hours outside the hall before being screened and
let in. That created big crowds and lots of anxiety. Some missed their flights.
That´s
an outdated way of doing things. Passengers should be allowed to proceed as
usual. This is a major airport and cannot be controlled as a provincial airport
in some remote place of India. At the outside doors and in the hall the police or
other type of security agents could be present with sniffer dogs. They would detect
anything suspicious in any piece of luggage. And they would let it go smoothly and
safely for everyone else.
