To gain access to the Departure Lounges, all passengers will need to pass through security control where your boarding card and passport will be inspected. Hand luggage will be inspected and passengers will also be screened.
When passing through the security check, hand luggage needs to go through an x-ray machine. So also do items such as jackets, coats, handbags, computers, mobile phones, cameras.
Also passengers will be asked to put metallic items such as belt buckles, coins and keys through the x-ray machine.
Any passengers with pacemakers fitted should request a hand search. Wheelchair users will also require a hand search.
Metal detector are safe for pregnant women, however, if you are not comfortable with this then request a hand search, which if you'd prefer can be carried out in a private.
Passengers are also sometimes chosen for hand searches at security control or towards the Departure Gate. These are just random searches to ensure the safety and security of all passengers. |
