Brussels Airport

I would sue for damages.

No, coming back from Darklands at Brussels Airport a few years ago, I...

Had my chain on, and I thought, wait, when I get closer, I'll unlock the padlock, take it off, and put it through.

And it was as I got to the thing, I started to put my bags down, going through, and then I was like, oh, I need to take my chain off.

However, these are generally conducted by less-trained contract workers.

Brussels Airport, after its terrorist bombing in 2016, now positions officers trained in behavioral detection at its entrances.

Plenty of other airports have sent delegates to Ben Gurion Airport to evaluate their security techniques as well and have quietly made changes to closer emulate Israel.

But few ever stop to question if we even want an increase in airport security.

Over the summer, there were lots of reports about people's holidays being ruined because of hours-long queues at the airport.

But there were even reports earlier this month that there were five-hour, six-hour-long queues at Brussels Airport.

What is going on with this system?

Yeah.

Let's get into it.

First of all, can you set the scene for us? What actually happened at Brussels airport where this arrest took place earlier this year? And what was the arrested man accused of doing?

So in May, a 52-year-old Belgian Chinese man was arrested at the main international airport in Belgium right before he could get on a plane to Beijing.

Belgian prosecutors say the man previously held a senior research position at a newly founded chip company called Belgam.

So picked up the Fiat CR.20 Ciaccona.

So that was a medium bomber the Italians used in the Second World War, and fittingly, the cover art- Is a machine that flew from Melsbroek Airfield, which for listeners is still an active air base on the north side of Brussels Airport.

So it's definitely gonna be the one that I build.

So the last time I went to LB 2000, I bought the Italeri HE 111 with- for the Battle of Britain, which I managed to finish, and it's there.

Onto the global air market.

Planned union action for October ninth in Brussels is expected to affect logistics and transportation activities in and around Brussels Airport.

Around one hundred forty flights are expected to be canceled given reduced staffing for freight acceptance, handling, and delivery.

The strike involves various transportation groups and is part of a broader opposition to federal austerity measures affecting wages, VAT, and working conditions.
