Australia boosts security on flights from Middle East: subject explosive trace detection (ETD) screenings

Passengers flying to Australia from the Middle East will be subject to random explosive trace detection (ETD) screenings from April 6 in response to an unspecified terrorist threat.

Flights from Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai will face random explosive trace detection (ETD) screenings starting from April 6, Transport Minister Darren Chester announced.

The boosted security measures follow the crackdown on electronics in carry-on luggage during flights from the Middle East to the US and UK.
