    I believe there is no other way to go as far as body searches of passengers is concerned. In fact the same practice takes place in many other airports. I however think hand sanitisers must be provided as the doctor suggested.

    They dont need to be told this. Well...

  • Pete 8 years ago

    Good point. They have body scanning machines which they use but continue to carress every single patient. In proper airports once you go thru the machine and it doesn't beep that's it.

  • Ohemaa 8 years ago

    Even at Kia, if u don't beep, they don't search you anyway. I go through there lot of times. When I beep, they search, if I don't, they don't
