The Coalition for Luggage Security Repeats Luggage Security Concerns
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/10/07 -- The Coalition for Luggage Security today called for a new system of Luggage Security. An article that highlights a public inquiry into the Air India disaster in 1985 appeared in TheStar.com at
www.thestar.com/printArticle/211870, which highlighted the ignoring of 70 warnings prior to luggage exploding on an Air India passenger aircraft. The Coalition for Luggage Security believes the historical value of repeated problems and threats are relevant to prevent further attacks on Airlines and Aircraft today.
"In addition, in a related incident, two Japanese baggage handlers were killed when a bag exploded during the sorting process, further highlighting the warnings of Richard A. Altomare, Founder and President of the Coalition for Luggage Security, and CEO of Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB: USXP)," said Josh Holm, Director of The Coalition For Luggage Security. "Mr. Altomare has repeatedly called for 'preventative' rather than 'reactive' security measures to protect American travelers," concluded Mr. Holm.
"Do we really want to continue our ostrich security policy in the airports? Are we to always ignore the obvious because of fear of governmental criticism? Before a suitcase bomb humbles this great nation again the Coalition for Luggage Security calls for the separation of luggage and passengers on domestic flights and in airports nationwide," said Mr. Altomare. "We call upon non-partisan and concerned lawmakers to commence hearings before, rather than after, a tragedy occurs," concluded Mr. Altomare.
