Terror threat: Security tightened at Delhi, Mumbai airports

New Delhi:Indian airports have also increased their security level, especially because the intelligence bureau has provided information that American Airlines operating out of either New Delhi or Mumbai could be the next terror targets in India.
The terror threat at London's Heathrow has reverberated at Delhi and Mumbai airports, where additional security checks on international flights resulted in long queues and delays.
NDTV has learnt that on Tuesday the Intelligence Bureau received specific information that flights of two American carriers that operate out of these airports could be the next terror targets in India.
International passengers have now been advised to check-in electronic goods like laptops and mobiles and domestic passengers are also being closely monitored. The new security drill suggested by the Ministry of Home Affairs includes biometric measures. In other words, checking out physical and behavioural traits of suspicious passengers.
