Hangzhou Has More Strict Security Check, And High Top Sports Shoes Become A Must Check Checkpoint

Since yesterday, Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport has improved its security inspection level. In other words, in the future, the security check at airports will be more strict than before.

Go through the explosion-proof detector before entering the door, and then open and take off the bag during security inspection shoes ... On the first day of Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport's comprehensive upgrade of security level, the reporter experienced the latest security intensity. The general feeling is that although the security intensity has improved, the speed of passing has not been greatly affected.

　 Add explosion-proof detector in departure hall

Xiao Li, a college student from Zhejiang who returned to Beijing after summer vacation, is the first batch of passengers after Xiaoshan Airport improved its security level. "I was flying at 5 o'clock. I heard that the security level in Guangzhou had been improved. I was wondering whether Hangzhou would be the same."

Frequent passengers can easily see the change from the past - a striking explosion-proof detector has just been added to the right side of the entrance of Gate 1 in the domestic departure hall of the airport. A group of staff wearing "explosion-proof detection" vests stopped passengers entering the terminal in twos and threes, led them to one side, and carried out sampling inspection.

The spot check is mainly for passengers who carry out baggage carts. The staff took the detection stick and scanned the baggage on the trolley back and forth. These passengers were allowed to check in only after ensuring that all the baggage on the trolley was confirmed to be safe. However, although this procedure has been added, it does not take long. The reporter roughly calculated that the whole process generally does not exceed one minute.

At 3:00 yesterday afternoon, it was the busiest time for airport security. There was still a long queue at the counter for checking in luggage and getting a boarding pass. However, in this link, the airport did not have new security procedures. As usual, checked baggage will be sent to the conveyor belt and enter the cabin as soon as the weight is weighed.

　 Wear high top sneakers, requirements Take off one's shoes Recheck

On the first day of the new security check, there was also a long queue at the security check entrance. Although the six security inspection channels are fully open, each channel at the security inspection entrance is more busy.

Although most passengers still follow the usual steps during the security check - after handing over the boarding pass, they take out electronic products and metal products and put them in the basket, and pass the X-ray machine inspection together with their carry on bags, followed by the staff's re inspection with a hand-held detector.

However, according to the reporter's rough statistics on the spot, two passengers were asked to open their bags for inspection in less than half an hour. However, there seems to be no special reason for this, just random sampling. The two passengers who were selected finally passed the security check.

The usual inspection of taking off shoes in winter also resumed yesterday. Mr. Wu, who was on a business trip to Guangzhou, had all his belongings checked by the X-ray machine, because he was wearing High top sneakers , was also shouted by the staff to take off the shoes for re inspection.

The security inspection procedure for taking off shoes, the person who is required and shoes Recheck separately. The shoes that Mr. Wu took off with great effort were put in the designated basket and had to go through the X-ray machine again. Then, wearing the slippers provided by the staff, he went through the security gate again and accepted manual re inspection.

The reporter observed the time on the spot. This procedure cost Mr. Wu about three minutes. If there are many people taking off their shoes, I'm afraid it will really take a lot of time. However, due to the hot weather, many passengers wear light and cool shoes such as slippers, sandals or canvas shoes, which are easier to check. After Mr. Wu, not many passengers were asked to take off their shoes for inspection. As for the possible belt removal mentioned the day before yesterday, the reporter did not find it within an hour of being present yesterday.

"I don't think there is too much difference in the intensity of security checks. I have also met in Shanghai before taking off shoes and unpacking checks." Harush, an American businessman who has not been to Hangzhou for more than half a year, told reporters yesterday.

Other passengers also said that they did not feel much change after the increased security inspection intensity. The reporter saw yesterday that although there were many people in the terminal, every boarding link was in good order, and passengers also cooperated with the airport inspection.
