Thai airport smuggler busted with baby Leopard, the Panthers

 A man was arrested Friday at Bangkok international airport with suitcases full of a bear, the panthers, monkeys and leopards of baby.

Man expected registration of Suvarnabhumi International Airport for a flight to Dubai when he was arrested by undercover officers in the fight against trafficking. Agents had followed him since he made the purchase black market animal.

The 36-year-old male has not been identified, only that he was a citizen of the United Emirates Arab.

Inside of his luggage were two leopards, two panthers, two macaque monkeys and an Asiatic black bear.

Animals, about the size of the puppies, were drugged and placed in cages flat or cans with air holes.

"It was a very sophisticated smuggling operation. "We have never seen such a forward", Steven Galster, Director of the group to fight against trafficking in FREELAND Foundation, told the Associated Press. "The guy had a virtual zoo in his suitcases."

The panthers and leopards can go for about $5,000 on the black market in Thailand. But, they would have probably sold to Dubai and more.

"It was not a normal smuggler," said Galster in a video of the AP. "It has been verified in first class, seems to have special links and has already been released on bail."

It is unclear if the animals were to be sold or kept as exotic pets.

The Thailand is a popular place for wildlife smuggling. Generally it's turtles, rare turtles, snakes and lizards bound for the Viet Nam and China.

Just in last February, a man was arrested at the same airport with plenty of illegal animals of bags. Last August a baby tiger cub was found in stuffed animals in a suitcase. In July 2010, a man was caught trying to smuggling of apes in his clothes at the airport of Mexico City.

Christian Boncorps, drunk passenger Air France, argues name is Ben Laden at JFK airport

 In a history that is immediately updated on Tuesday, a 61 - year man, said an officer of France Air tickets to New York JFK airport Friday night "my name is Ben Laden, and I have a bomb in my bag."
Of course, it really was bin Laden, but Christian Boncorps, a State of intoxication Yonkers man with a grey beard, who approached the ticket to obtain a boarding pass for the Paris-bound flight, reported the New York Post.

The ticket agent asked that Boncorps had in his bag, thinking he might have additional alcohol for long-haul flight. When the intoxicated course Boncorps he said his name was Ben Laden and he had a bomb in his page.

The next part of the story gets... tedious. The ticket clerk has Boncorps the TSA for a regular screening (no word if the agent has been issued a card gate or not).

The TSA agents took then 40 minutes to decide to call the cops, at which point Boncorps was completed with security and was to return his shoes on (his luggage was already on the flight).

A TSA spokesman told the Post: "TSA continues to consider the circumstances of this case." However, travellers can be assured that each employee of TSA and airport is formed to take all threats seriously and notify the application of the Act to ensure the security of the airport and air travellers. ?

Paul Nunziato, President of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, had some harsher words for the TSA. "We were lucky that this passenger was not a serious threat." With countless lives have been endangered by the failure of the TSA to follow its own security protocols. If the statements made by the passenger to call the police, while must be sought immediately, and until the passenger between the control point. ?

Boncorps has been charged with filing a false report and later pleaded guilty to misconduct in a Queens Court, for which he was charged the $ 250 fine.

It was a time (just joking!) since a drunk passenger got involved in air transport. In April, a drunken passenger from Dallas to Paris has forced an American Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Chicago.

St. Louis tornado: Man Films tornado from the airport of the Interior (video)

 The tornado which ransacked St. Louis, Lambert left airport Friday, struggling to get back on the calendar (the airport is intended to be 100% on Tuesday). A passenger in the Hall C hardly hit was filming the storm surrounding when the tornado hit.

Although he does not reveal where he was directed, the man calmly filming the lightning (video reveals some amazing views of Lightning) when people start shouting and running Windows.

It is difficult to imagine what a powerful tornado was nearby. But the incredible video of this man - he keeps shooting all the time - provides an overview of what it must have been like.

Airport delays Northeast due to severe weather

 South of the United States is not the only area of the country to be hit with severe weather: airport delays are the ravages of the Northeast corridor on Thursday.

New York LaGuardia Airport is facing delays of approximately 1-3 hours. Philadelphia Airport is experiencing delays of about an hour.

Newark Airport appears to be hardest hit with delays of up to 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Airport Apps Guide to passenger safety in the take-off

 Airports have been slower to adopt mobile technology that airlines and online travel agencies.

Point their developed applications, although their facilities are ready for the type of information that can be effectively livrés via smartphones: navigation complex Terminal layouts, avoiding the choke points and long queues waiting and what is available in stores and restaurants.

Several developers independent app intensify to the gap in the hope to woo travellers with useful information, in real time and possibly encouraging them to spend more money.

There are several applications - involves maps, maps of the airport and Airport Terminal maps - offering cards gate and terminal only. The applications we tested - Gateguru, iFly Pro, Flysmart and GoHow airport - offer more variety, such as the location of the door, close to shops and restaurants, parking lot information, checkpoint - the wait times and reviews uploaded by travellers.

They have compiled their information by partnership directly with airports, as GoHow has done, or collect information which is publicly available. Gateguru has been more further by asking users to post reviews and tidbits. It now has over 25,000 reviews and suggestions and 5,000 photos by its users. GoHow, also looks at ways to encourage frequent users, possibly in partnership with airports or dealers to offer rewards loyalty program, explains Christina Cassotis e & HS, which developed goHow.

During this time, the developers of airport technology will continue to pursue new applications. One of the most closely followed developments is the technology to locate travelers at the airport in real time. Technology company Aviation SITA is working on a new Copenhagen International program to track the movement of travellers based on signals from Wi - Fi from their mobile devices. Using this technology "lbs", responsible for the airport hoping to improve the flow of passengers, especially at congested points. Dealers see the opportunity to offer deals to potential customers who are nearby.

Gateguru asked its members to voluntarily submit their geolocation (latitude and longitude coordinates), with plans to introduce new location-based services. We are anxious to push offers. But if there is a value with their airport experience, we would welcome that, ", explains Daniel Gellert, CEO of Gateguru." "If you are 30 seconds from the safety line and we can say line b is faster that line A 15 seconds, it is more powerful.

Of the tested apps, we liked better Gateguru because of its simplicity and its focus. Gateguru assumes passenger will get their flight and is updated from the airlines, and focuses instead on the airport facilities and services.

Those who prefer to consolidate travel information in an application can opt for others, such as goHow and iFly, which offer both. "If I rush to my door for a TGIF (to see that) has changed my door, I am annoyed and TGIF loses business,"said Cassotis."."

Here's looking at the applications tested:

?Overview: covers on 115 airports with lists of restaurants, shops, lounges and airline services. View and post security wait times.

Accreditation ?pros: Comprehensive lists; 25 000 ratings, reviews and advice of members. Have approximately 5,000 photos. To view your Tripit and kayaking routes. Coupons from some suppliers. Connection Internet requires no reading lists and reviews.
