Between January and October this year 328 entry visas to the US and Europe were found in the hands of Dominican and Haitians who tried to fly to the British Virgin Islands on Liat and Air Caribe airlines. The Virgin Islands has become a jump off point for people trying to reach the European continent without the required documentation. The SERVAIR security agency has helped in the apprehension of many of the documents because they are responsible for checking documents and determining their validity. New security procedures that should have been introduced at Las Americas International Airport (AILA) for passengers boarding flights to Europe will not be implemented until the Committee for Aerial Security meets, as reported in Diario Libre. Airlines are asking for some items to be put in plastic bags so that they are visible by security personnel and they also want to impose the new restriction recently introduced in Europe banning liquids, perfumes, lotions or aerosol cans in hand luggage, which was recently repealed in the United States.
