Canvas bags instead of metal boxes: Russia is developing new rules for the transport of weapons
According to the draft, the requirement to transport weapons on civilian aircraft only in metal boxes should be abolished. Instead, it is proposed to use canvas bags to be sealed.
“Russian airlines have asked to change the existing rules for the transportation of weapons. For example, S7 for the development of regional transport received last spring 70-local Embraer-170 - the smallest member of this family, not previously exploited in our country. It turned out that the installation of metal boxes in it significantly limits the ability to load passengers' luggage, ”the newspaper writes.
S7 was supported by other airlines. At Domodedovo airport, it was reported that in international practice there is no requirement to install metal boxes on board aircraft.
According to Tatyana Goldobina, the head coach of the Russian national team for bullet shooting, the shooters hand over their weapons in special cases with locks. The security service carries out the appropriate checks. In most types of aircraft, baggage compartments are structurally separated from passenger compartments.
However, the head of the Center for Legal and Psychological Assistance in Extreme Situations, Mikhail Vinogradov, believes that the aerodrome security service is calmer when the weapon is in a metal box.
