So they don't have sufficient screening at the airport? Shocking

 

Release Date: 

December 26, 2018

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced the determination that aviation security at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), which serves as a last-point-of-departure airport for flights to the United States, does not maintain and carry out effective security consistent with the security standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).  This determination was based on assessments by a team of security experts from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Probably a US military trained group that observe other country screening procedures

 

Not the standard yoyo's you see at the local airports

From what I have noticed on multiple trips, the security at NAIA is tighter than on my flights out of Honolulu.

I know they pat you down a few times going thru NAIA airport and make you x ray your luggage a lot more than a US airport.  Maybe they have old technology for the xrays
