Mumbai Airport Security Shock: Red Faces All Around after Revolver Lapse
Air India suspended an employee who failed to detect a gun and 30 bullets in the check-in luggage of a passenger.
Airports across the country at that time were on a high alert following intelligence reports that Kashmiri militants might try to hijack an Indian plane. Under Indian law, passengers wishing to carry arms on board an Indian airline must have permission from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/finan.../D8MOHG080.htm |

That explains a lot.
I flew back to UK from Mumbai on Friday morning (19/01/07) and it took a lifetime checking in and getting through security. Queues were very long indeed and I can see why now. |
