TIGHTENED SECURITY AT VARIOUS PORTS.

The letter bombs triggered unprecedented tightened security, the shuffle of security personnel and the transfer of security responsibilities at the airports, the seaports and at the boarder crossing points in many European cities, particularly in Germany and some parts of the USA. The police forces have taken up responsibilities that entailed body and luggage search at the entry and exit points in many European airports, specially in Germany.
However, the decreasing number of the required annual police recruits in Germany and some European countries compared to the magnitude of the security duty at hand, specially at the airports, the seaports and at the border crossing may require additional training for non police forces to enable the required thorough searches in the duty of the tightened security.
