Pemeriksaan Avsec lebih tumpu senjata banding dadah, kata Saifuddin
Menteri dalam negeri berkata aspek pemeriksaan bagasi di lapangan terbang itu akan ditambah baik untuk kesan barang terlarang.
Minister of Domestic Affairs Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has emphasized that aviation security screening conducted by the Aviation Security (Avsec) unit at airports is primarily focused on weapons rather than drugs or contraband, according to Bernama. The X-ray machines currently functioning at the airports are of high capability and effectiveness in detecting dangerous items, he stated.
However, he mentioned that the ministry plans to expand the scope of screening to include illicit items like drugs, in line with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards for international airport screening. Saifuddin assured that the aviation security screening aspect is in harmony with ICAO standards. Later today, officials from the Domestic Affairs Ministry (KDN) will hold a meeting to discuss a comprehensive plan to enhance security control at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The issue of airport security control has been under scrutiny following several incidents involving Malaysians, including the recent arrest of a man at Jakarta's airport suspected of smuggling about 25kg of drugs.
