Security checks galore. Recent BLR-JFK experience
Recent experience at BLR, to JFK
- As you approach the airport, the gun totting sentry at the threshold constriction eyes you over
- As you enter the terminal building, CISF checks ticket and identification
- The airline queue director examines your ticket to guide you to the right queue
- Check-in agent checks tickets & identification
- Immigration authorities check boarding card and identification
- Sentry checks immigration stamps, few feet from immigration, before letting you get screened
- At screening, CISF check you and stamp boarding pass and carry-on tags
- Near the gate, boarding agent examines your boarding pass and carry on tags and guide you to the right queue
- At the gate enclave, the boarding agent checks identification and boarding pass
- Prior to the jet bridge, CISF checks boarding pass and carry-on tags
- Sometimes, US specific special checks on jet bridge requires emptying and repacking of carry-on(s)
