Xinjiang airport security screening fully upgrades passenger security takes 20 minutes

According to the requirements of the National Civil Aviation Administration, Xinjiang Airport has recently raised the security level. The security check at Urumqi International Airport is more stringent than ever before, and most passengers arrive at the airport early to avoid misoperation. Throughout the security screening process, passengers queued up for the first security check in an orderly manner. There were two airport staff at each gate to consult with questionable passengers. When entering the terminal building, double inspections of X-ray machines and traces of explosives are required.

The staff first checked Mr. Shi and his baggage with an explosives detector, rescanned his pockets and other places where he could put items, and put the baggage on the detection machine and checked it with an X-ray machine. Throughout the entire process, the staff members apparently slowed down more than they used to. They were checked very carefully and lasted for nearly 10 minutes.

After entering the terminal building, they took their luggage to the checked baggage window. Due to the relatively large number of queuing people, the waiting and consignment process took about 20 minutes. In the process of checking baggage, the baggage is placed on a strip for X-ray inspection and the boarding pass can be obtained without any abnormality. The process of checking in baggage is the same as before. The staff member said that if baggage is found to have the same baggage, the baggage will be opened for inspection. For example, if a passenger carries a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, the computer monitor may suspect that it is a metal object. What is it."

At 13:30, the security checkpoints lined up and an inspection was added at the entrance—a platform scale weighs passengers’ carry-on baggage, and more than 5 kg of baggage are checked. Items such as lighters, matches, and drinks must be given to security personnel at the entrance to the security check. Mr. Inshi brought only a lightweight backpack and no band-gap items, so he successfully entered the security checkpoint. Some passengers with heavy baggage were asked to check-in baggage.

Due to queuing in the entrance gate, check-in baggage, and security check, Mr. Shi arrived at the terminal at around 14:45, and it took more than an hour and a half to reach the airport until the end of the security check. In this regard, Mr. Shi said: “General planes stopped checking tickets half an hour before they took off, so today’s 15 o’clock plane is very tense. I hope other passengers will arrive at the airport at least 3 hours in advance to avoid missed opportunities.”

According to the airport staff, the airport security procedures are the same as in the past. However, in order to ensure the safety of aircraft and boarding passengers, the security screening process will be more rigorous and careful. “Some passengers may be puzzled by some meticulous inspections, except that they are strictly prohibited. In addition to explosives, flammable materials, and knives, yoghurt, milk, or other beverages are not allowed to be carried on planes, and jelly products such as jellies are not allowed to be carried, allowing passengers to carry a small amount of cosmetics for personal use. With a piece, the container volume must not exceed 100 ml, and should be placed in a separate bag, open bottle inspection, if you exceed the capacity standard can only require shipping. There are some passengers will bring Chinese medicine, we generally require passengers to check and handle."

Ms. Yang, who is preparing to return to Fujian on business trips in Xinjiang, said: “Although the time for security inspection may be longer, it is for our safety. This is understandable, of course.” She also said: “I’ve stayed in Xinjiang this time on a business trip. 28 I like this place, I will travel to Xinjiang again after work.”
