KUWAIT: A British security delegation that visited Kuwait International Airport last week made a few remarks and recommendations to ensure securing both the airport terminal and the planes. According to sources, the delegation, which was headed by the British Minister in charge of airport security and anti-terrorism in the British Ministry of Interior Lord Tareq Ahmad noticed a ‘serious shortage’ in female security agents needed to prevent possible female security breaches, and recommended providing the needed staff immediately.
The British delegation had met with the Interior Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Border Security Major General Faisal Al-Sineen. The Interior Ministry responded to the team’s recommendation by saying that more female security agents would be appointed in the airport, adding that in case the appointed numbers were not enough, the private sector’s help would be sought to fill in that security gap as soon as possible.
The delegation also recommended having civilians do airport administrative jobs leaving security agents to secure the airport. They also recommended using high-end technology and to take the need for ‘threat zones’ when designing the new airport terminal because the current one was too small to provide such zones needed in cases of emergency. – Al-Rai
