Very True, if you are referring to the UK, they are also using "Fox in Charge of the Henhouse" system all security staff at LHR term 2 and 3 are manned completely by moslem staff, crazy!

 

No it was at Schiphol airport which has the same staff as LHR.

 

But it's very important to test securitysystems like on an airport. It should be done every year on every airport, especially the backdoors for staff.

I have been so concerned about Airport security that I have written to Nok Air (as one of my concerns relates to that Company) and Airports of Thailand as my other concerns relate to Don Mueang and Surathani Airports.

Have sent 13 emails in the last five weeks and can not get a reply !

Any suggestions who I should contact next ?

How many planes have been hijacked by terrorists from these airports. Get over it or drive every where.

Sometimes the delaying of expensive important projects until the last minute by the Thai Government amazes me, Those in charge seem to want to hold on to the moneys until the last second to pay for any project that has to be done and could have been completed months ago at less cost.Of course paying for a family members new Mercedes (with the same governments money)there will be no delay.

Well said follows my train of thought as well. This is just one small part of the total infrastructure. I am continually amazed at all these super trains etc. on the DRAWING board. Will they ever see the light of day. Then one has to wonder if they are really needed. I would think a total upgrade of the present system would be more in order. Chevrolet solutions before Cadillac implementation after all this is Thailand not Dubai.

Bar fines?

Why don't they take the ones from all the MRT and BTS stations. No-one there seems to know what they are there for.

Stop being so harsh, this is Thailand and they operate on Thai time.  You know, the time they tell you for an appointment and they're never on time, always late, so why should anything else be different.  And no, not Thai bashing, just telling it like it is.

Maybe go outside and talk to the wall, you will get a quicker response, but then if not you will know you've just been bashing your head against it.

Somsak Hommuang of the communications ministry has ordered the creation of a committee

 

Just what is needed another ***** committee, what a bunch of muppets    Pull your fingers out, you have 6 months for heavens sake !

 

I think your comment is very unfair and uncalled for. My god, man surely you must know that Thai authority loves to talk at great length before considering carrying out any positive action? Where have you been hiding? 

 

Yup, couldn't organize a p***up in a brewery or a sex in a brothel, comes to mind. 

This is a country that even their own Flagship Airline  can't fly to North America.  Not surprising their small airports are not up to par.

But is it a super committee?

God...This place is a f'ing mess...Every day, it's something more morose than the last...

5 minute walk through, at surat thani and krabi. 3+ hours at pattaya. It might be the processing not the screening needed at some airports for customs own reasons.

"  has ordered the creation of a committee to oversee  "

 

what more do these pesky farang want??? they just do not understand...

it is often a challenge here, when they are asked to be up to international standards. Things seem to work very well here, within the bubble. Such as the recent episode with Little P. telling a group of school children that there is a good chance Thai will become the next major world language. His reasoning? Thai has 44 letters. It has many words that have multiple meanings. It is unique. Therefore it should take the place of English. Many people are studying it now. 

 

Wow. What can one say? How do you respond to that reasoning?  

We are all concerned about security but the part of the game is the updating of the system each time by being compelled to invest in expensive scanners and other equipments. Sometimes i ask myself if it is not a big buisiness going on! If the airport does not comply it is black listed, all airlines companies around the world are informed and their insurance companies as well.
