Guards at Sharm el-Sheikh airport are today still taking cash from
tourists to help them skip security despite evidence an ISIS bomb was
smuggled in by terrorists.
According to Mailonline,one
holidaymaker handed over 150 Jordanian Dinars (£13) after an official
walked along asking tourists if they wanted to avoid the queues at Sharm
el-Sheikh airport today.
Egyptian security staff have also been seen playing on Candy Crush on
their phones, smoking and even sleeping when meant to be scanning bags.
British spies believe lax security allowed an ISIS bomb to be smuggled
into the hold of the Russian airline brought down on Saturday killing
224
people.Britons travelling through Sharm el-Sheikh airport said they
had been able to pay guards £15 to jump security without their bags
being checked.
Holidaymakers say officials approached them as they queued for security and asked if they wanted to just walk through for cash.
Britons
say after handing over the money they were taken from snaking queues
and allowed to bypass electronic body and bag scanners.

Others have described Egyptian security officials playing Candy Crush on
their phones instead of scanning bags or smoking and even sleeping on
the job.
British spies are to interrogate Egyptian baggage
handlers after intercepted intelligence pointed to an ISIS mole
smuggling a bomb into the hold of the doomed Russian jet.
MI5
heard 'chatter' from extremists in the Sinai Peninsula revealed there is
a 'high probability' the disaster was caused by an explosion on board.
Hundreds
of other passengers have spoken of their own shock at the appalling
lack of security they faced when travelling through Egypt's third
busiest airport.
One holidaymaker told how she spotted a security
official playing the computer game Candy Crush while they should have
been screening baggage.
Others said they were nonchalantly waved
through body scanners by guards who were 'more interested in smoking
cigarettes or eating their dinner' just 24 hours before the doomed
Metrojet plane came down.Some staff were even found asleep on the job.
