Flights to the US may be halted amid security concerns at Polish airports

According to the popular daily Zycie, an assessment of security levels at Warsaw's Okecie international airport has left serious cause for concern. So grave is the problem that the US air safety board will soon conduct a thorough examination of security levels at all major Polish airports. If Okecie fails to prove that it maintains at least a decent level of vigilance and is relegated to the category of level three security, the American authorities are ready to ban all flights from Poland to the USA. Zycie revealed several cases of security lapses at Okecie. Last year a man was caught on a flight to Paris without a passport and no ticket. Another case was of a criminal fleeing from the police, who hid in the cargo hold used for transporting animals on a flight to Canada, where he is still living today. (Zycie, p. 1) A.K.
