Man Sneaks In Beedi Through Airport Security Check, Caught Smoking Inside Flight Washroom
Airports are one of the most high-security areas where common people are allowed to enter. Due to the nature of the place, passengers go through an intense security check, including scans and frisking by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) before they are allowed to board their flights.

Inflammable objects or arms are strictly banned and even the suspicion of carrying any unauthorised objects that could be deemed as a security risk can lead to a detailed search and confiscation of the items by the authorities.
However, a passenger somehow managed to sneak in beedi and lighter through the security check at the Delhi Airport and boarded a flight.
