Chaos at DMK from baggage screening
 

Look at some of the pictures. Wow.

I hope none of those standing in line are people we advised that they wouldn't have do worry about getting to the airport way ahead of time. :(

They've gone back to the old way.

Not sure what's different now? Less confusion maybe?

AOT lifts new rule after chaos

Strict baggage screening at Don Mueang scrapped after long delays

AIRPORTS OF Thailand yesterday hastily called off its strict screening measures at Don Mueang International Airport, which it had just imposed on Friday, after they caused mayhem, with passengers languishing behind long queues and many almost missing their flights.

The revised rules required not only checked-in luggage but also carry-ons to be X-rayed before entering the departure area.

The aim was to prevent "unlawful interference action that may cause the delay of process" and to comply with the International Civil Aviation Organisation's demand for Thailand to tighten up safety regulations or face bans on international flights.

Before, only loaded luggage was required to pass pre-check-in screening while carry-ons were scanned after passengers got their boarding passes.

The new rule was posted without prior notice on AOT's website on Friday, along with an apology for "any inconvenience that may occur", and was immediate implemented.
