Things and anything that is scattered in the baggage and the X-ray machine cannot clearly display the image."

“The authorities encourage passengers to properly pack their carry-on baggage and keep the items in order to simplify the security inspection process and allow the team to move forward smoothly.”

Pecoschi said: "Our security measures are still focused on always taking the lead to prevent people from trying to harm us and ensure that passengers arrive at their destination safely."
