Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport has implemented a new security measure in response to recent attacks on wireless devices in Lebanon. The airport has officially banned the carrying of pagers and walkie-talkies onto flights, effective immediately.
According to airport authorities, passengers are now prohibited from bringing any pager or walkie-talkie device on board the aircraft, whether in their hand luggage, checked bags, or cargo. This decision comes after two days of attacks targeting wireless devices in the country.
In a notice issued on Thursday, airport officials instructed airlines to inform passengers about the new restriction. The notice also warns that any pagers or walkie-talkies discovered during security checks will be confiscated by airport security personnel.
This move is aimed at enhancing security measures at the airport and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew members. By prohibiting these specific devices, authorities hope to prevent any potential threats that may arise from their misuse or tampering.
Passengers traveling through Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport are advised to comply with the new regulation and refrain from carrying pagers or walkie-talkies to avoid any inconvenience or delays during the security screening process.
As the situation in Lebanon remains tense, airports and other transportation hubs are taking extra precautions to safeguard against security threats and protect the traveling public. The ban on pagers and walkie-talkies is just one of the many measures being implemented to ensure the safety and security of all individuals passing through the airport.
