New Delhi: Strategic experts have warned that some of the recent security incidents in different parts of the world involving aircraft and airports could be "testers" by terrorists.
Though some of these airline security incidents could be results of "genuine innocence" of first-time travellers, the experts have asked the airlines and aviation authorities not to ignore them as some of them could be terrorist probes with actual imminent threats.
They have also pointed out that there have been about two dozen incidents since august, leading to flight diversions, emergency landings, escorting of civil aircraft by air force fighters and arrests of some people.
The incidents have ranged from alarms being triggered off by disruptive passenger behaviour, bomb threats, misuse of mobile phones in-flight and even an odd smell in the aircraft.
