New Delhi: Air travel is one of the fastest and most convenient ways of travelling in today’s time, but some precautions are also necessary. Very strict rules have been made regarding security in airports and planes. Not following these rules or using the wrong words can get you into trouble. Recently, many such incidents have come to light where people traveling by plane used some such words, due to which not only the flight got delayed, but they also had to face legal action.
Use of these words can put you in trouble
Let us tell you that these words may sound common, but their use immediately alerts the security agencies. Words like bomb, gun, knife, terrorist, hijack, explosives, crash, biological weapons, and smuggling or drugs should not be used at all in airports or flights. On hearing these words, security personnel immediately take action, which can delay your journey and you may also have to face legal trouble. For example, if someone jokingly says ‘there is a bomb in my bag’ at the airport or flight, he can be immediately detained.
Explain to children about the use of words
There are frequent cases when people used such words jokingly or for some other reason which put them in trouble. To avoid such cases, be careful in your conversation during travel. Especially, avoid posting or commenting on social media that raises doubts about the security of the airport. Also check your luggage thoroughly and do not carry any suspicious object with you. If there is any doubt, contact the help desk at the airport. Apart from this, explain to children about the wrong use of these words, because children often say such things unknowingly.
