Airport Security chief Gen. Angel Atutubo (retired) deployed a team of airport police with trained bomb sniffing dogs at the vicinity of the airport and even inside aircrafts before they roll out of the bay as part of the airport’s tight security being implemented.
All US-bound passengers at the terminals 1 and 2 will have to submit to body searches and will be required to remove their shoes as part of the security check.
Malacañang allows the presence of air marshalls inside departing aircrafts to protect passengers from any terrorist threat or attack.
Gen. Atutubo said that they were on the highest level of alert and they are asking for passengers’ cooperation.
About six trained bomb sniffing dogs were also deployed to scan baggages, patrol the tarmac where aircrafts are docked and ensure the safety of these aircrafts from attack. — Rudy Santos
