Today's Beijing Times reported on the tightened security measures that take effect today in Beijing railway stations. According to the newspaper, the Beijing railway police force will take new measures to strengthen the security in the four Beijing railway stations, including the unused Beijing North Station. These new measures include random mandatory ID checks on railways passengers and new regulations regarding liquids; passengers who carry bottled drinks will be asked to drink from the bottle and unopened bottles of liquid will undergo examination by a new type liquid analyzer device. These new devices, which cost 140,000 yuan apiece, can detect alcohol, gasoline and other restricted liquid in insulated containers. Authorities are also taking great care analyzing passengers' luggage; specially trained dogs will re-examine packages after a standard X-ray examination and unclaimed packages will be dealt with by special personnel. The newspaper also reports that police armed with riot guns will now patrol railway stations 24 hours a day. Links and Sources
