Military measures alone may not be sufficient anymore, he said.He said the Thai government is in process of procuring face and fingerprint scanners to assist immigration measures at airports and to network the airports with each other. He said that the procurement process must proceed with transparency.He added that the agenda of upgrading Thailand’s immigration and customs systems are yet to be taken into account by the Airports of Thailand, the military and the police to efficiently solve terrorism issues while cooperation with the neighboring countries would also be significant. -- NNT 2016-07-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirtless Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Sorry but these extra measures have not prevented attacks in the past, you just want more control to use against citizens , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbrock Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I bet you the upper echelons of AoT, the Army and the RTP are gleefully wringing their hands together at the thought of how many 5000 baht hard drives they will need to purchase... for 800,000 baht a piece!

sahibji Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 inter country cooperation is paramount in efforts to contain the threat of terrorism.one of the quickest ways is the exchange of information. IT is an appropriate medium of exchange of such information. the significant point is as to how efficiently the information is analysed and acted upon.

chrisinth Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 It is a valid point he is making. However, as long as any country has a porous border, broken by checkpoints who apply their own rules, it doesn't really matter how much additional security measures you deploy at the airports at the end of the day.
