'Special inspection measures' at China airports from July 20

This just in from a reader tip. Via the easternmiles.com newsletter:

In order to guarantee safety of civil air transport during Beijing Olympic Games period, Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has decided to implement special inspection measures in Beijing Capital Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Pudong Airport, airports in Qingdao, Tianjin, Shenyang, Qinhuangdao, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Jinan, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, Changchun, Harbin, Huhehaote, Dalian, and airports inside Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Tibet Autonomous Region from July 20, 2008.

According to relevant supervisor of CAAC, extra security equipment will be deployed at terminal entrance of the above-mentioned airports; all persons entering the airports will be subject to security check, including those who come to the airport for send-off. Person who carries explosives, inflammable and combustible substances illegally into the airport will be severely punished by relevant departments in accordance with related laws and regulations, and consequences of any delay resulting from such action will be assumed by the law-breaker alone. After completing check-in formalities, passengers will need to pass security check once more before entering isolated departure zone.

The "including those who come to the airport for send-off" part caught our eye. Wonder if that goes for airport pick-ups, too?

Just another day in a Paranoid Communist State!

 

Just blame Your Holiness Daliar Lala Step-Dad!

 

Just came back through Pudong airport terminal 2 yesterday. There are new radioactive material sensors to pass through after you pick up your luggage and you have to pass your bags through the x-ray machines.

Those greeting and picking up guests have to pass through a security check before entering the arrivals hall, making the tunnel between terminals 1 and 2 a bit like a no-man's land.

By the way, the elevators to get down to the parking levels are so ridiculously small (considering the luggage and huge numbers of people involved) you're better off taking the escalators if you can.
