• Other steps in airport security include patrolling sniffer dogs, X-rays of luggage, CT scanners and armed air marshals boarding planes.
• Rare birds and animals can be smuggled and sold to collectors overseas for thousands of dollars. There have been many airport incidents where outgoing passengers have been caught smuggling rare, sedated lizards, snakes, parrots etc. in their luggage. • Aircraft flying below a certain height, generally 29 000 ft, and flying at the same altitude must keep a set safe horizontal distance from each other and a set safe vertical separation from planes above or below them.
