Anyone else aware of the Bureaucrats from Brussels latest security edict (EU Directive 300/2008) that becomes effective 1 May 2010?
Applicable to international arrivals and departures - I've read the entire EU Directive and there are no specifics but one of the handling companies from Luton has issued a memorandum to all operators detailing the new regulations for private or charter aircraft:
All flights over 15,000 kgs will be subject to a full screening as per the National Aviation Security Program
One in three bodies and bags will have to be hand searched
One in every three persons shoes will have to be removed
Is this for real and how are the handling agents going to be able to enforce these new regulations?
