Europe Tightens Secuirty
EU security and aviation experts met on Wednesday to consider recommending stricter measures for airport security, with particular focus on hand-luggage and the threat posed by liquid explosives.
The expert meeting, which follows discussions with airline and airport officials last week, was prompted by a recent alleged plot to bomb US-bound planes from Britain in mid-flight.
British authorities announced last month that they had foiled an alleged plot to blow up US-bound airliners using liquid explosives smuggled aboard in drink bottles or other containers.
