The big security slip-up

New Delhi: At a time when airports across the country are on heightened alert, a 21-year-old Canadian national, Gurwinder Singh Dhaliwal, coursed through “foolproof” security checks at Amritsar airport on Saturday morning and slipped in with seven kg heroin.
The youth was arrested by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence officials from Delhi only minutes before he was to board an Air India plane to Toronto.
Dhaliwal could very well have been carrying RDX, as the explosive and the narcotic drug look similar on x-ray screens.
That Dhaliwal was caught had little to with the tight airport security. His arrest came about because of intelligence gathered by DRI's Delhi zonal unit in the nick of time. He had created a cavity in his suitcases to conceal the heroin and managed to dodge all security checks: customs, immigration and x-ray machines at Rajasansi airport and had reached the departure area.
