The Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) recently stated that a 42-year-old man, who was scheduled to fly from Cochin to Mumbai on an Air India flight, made an ‘alarming’ comment to a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer at the x-ray baggage inspection counter.
During the pre-embarkation security check, he asked the CISF officer, ‘Is there any bomb in my bag?’ This prompted the airport security team to set in motion a chain of events, including the checking of the passenger’s baggage and handing him over to the local police.
