Concerns over bomb ‘detectors’ at Sharm el-Sheikh airport

While security has been stepped up at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport following a plane crash 12 days ago, concerns have been raised over the use of bomb detectors at some hotels in the resort which, it is claimed, offer “no protection” against terrorism.

The devices are reportedly being used by security guards at a number of hotels in the popular tourist resort, in the wake of the Russian plane crash that killed all 224 people on board.

The “wand-like aerial” attached to a box was waved over cars and luggage, The Sun reported.
