New Security...?

While Russia had earlier suggested that the UK was acting prematurely in halting flights to the Red Sea resort over terrorism fears, Vladimir Putin ordered even wider restrictions on Friday, including halting all flights from Cairo. The head of his federal security services said it would be expedient to suspend flights until they had discovered why the Airbus A321 had crashed last Saturday.

Meanwhile, the US announced new security measures including tighter screening for flights from some airports in the Middle East. Jeh Johnson, the homeland security secretary, said that the move was motivated by “an abundance of caution”.

Russia initially dismissed claims by Islamic State of responsibility for downing the Metrojet flight, which came weeks after threats of retaliation for Russian planes bombing Syria, and Moscow reacted angrily after David Cameron said it was “more likely than not” a bomb.

There is a new concern of what terrorist were able to do, did, or acquired when it comes to the Russian Jet. That concern is new to aviation in general and represent a new escalation in the threat to aviation. 

Tourists flew out from the Egyptian resorts without their luggage's which indicates the new concern related to what these luggage's may have even without the knowledge of the passengers themselves. It is not just security at the airports but also security at the Resort.

Just a thought.
