Travel Advisory Chinese airport security beefed up, expect delays china expat
Domestic airports have enhanced security measures after a disabled man set off a bomb on Saturday at Beijing Capital International Airport.
Explosives checks are being carried out at the entrances of the arrival and departure halls at the airport, with security personnel swiping palm-sized testing paper on passengers' luggage.
SWAT officers have been deployed in the halls, Beijing police announced on Sunday, and police dogs have also been deployed.
The anti-explosive measures came after an incident on Saturday evening when Ji Zhongxing, 34, set off a homemade bomb at the Beijing airport, injuring himself and a security guard.
Ji, from Heze, Shandong province, claimed in his blog that he had been attacked and paralyzed by police in Dongguan, Guangdong province, in 2005, and his lawsuit against the police failed in 2006.
The explosion occurred outside Gate B of the Terminal 3 arrival hall, where people don't need security checks.
Beijing police said on Sunday that Ji had been taken into custody and they were investigating how he got the explosives, what his motives were and whether there were any other suspects.
Airports in many other cities, including Shanghai and Shenzhen, have also upgraded security measures.
Shanghai's Pudong and Hongqiao international airports have been checking for explosives at exits and entrances since Sunday, according to the Shanghai Airport Authority, which operates the airports.
"It's a spot check not only for the departure floor, but also the arrival floor - you'd be checked even if you're in the airport to pick up friends," said a staff member of the Pudong International Airport's inspection center who declined to give his name.
Shi Daoxiong, spokesman for Shenzhen Airport (Group) Co, operator of Shenzhen Baoan International Airport, said the inspection only takes a few seconds.
"The inspection is a regular part of instructions from the Civil Aviation Administration of China. We used to run the check three days every month," he said.
Shi still advises passengers to arrive at the airport about half an hour earlier.
Starting on Monday, passengers at Sanya Phoenix International Airport in Hainan province have to go through extra security checks at the entrances of domestic and international terminals, the airport said on Monday morning.
Some entrances will be closed temporarily, and all others will be for one-way traffic, the Sanya airport said.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China required beefing up security measures, the airport said, reminding passengers to arrive ahead of time.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China was unavailable for comment on Monday.
Sun Ying, traveling from Beijing to Shanghai, said the enhanced security measures made her feel safe.
"The testing paper is efficient, and it doesn't take much time," she said. "Safety should always be the top priority."

Why Is The Royal Baby Named George
By naming their son George Alexander Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have picked a name which is synonymous with British kings.
Here we will look at the significance of British fu-ture king’s names. George
The name George is synonymous with British kings. Six King Georges have worn the crown throughout history since the German-born George I, the first Hanoverian king of Great Britain, acceded to the throne in 1714.
The first name of the last King George –George VI –was actually Albert and he was known to his family as ‘Bertie’ but he selected George – his fourth name – to use as Sovereign. He was the much-loved father of the present Queen and the new Prince George of Cambridge’s great-great grandfa-ther.
George is also the fourth name of the Prince of Wales –the baby’s grandfather. Even Edward VIII had George among his seven names. The name means farmer or earth worker. It was the 12th most popular name for boys born in England and Wales in 2011.
St George, a fourth-century Christian martyr, is the patron Saint of England and represents honour, bravery and gallantry. The legend of George slaying a dragon and rescuing an innocent maiden is me-dieval.
There has only been one other Prince of Cam-bridge and he was also called George. The first Prince George of Cambridge was a grandson of George III and the only son of Prince Adolphus Frederick, the 1st Duke of Cambridge.
Prince George of Cambridge was born in 1819 and went on to become the 2nd Duke of Cambridge after his father’s death.
The Duke was in the Army and served in the Crimean War. He was promoted to Comman-der-in-Chief in 1887 and an equestrian statue of him stands in the middle of London’s Whitehall. He was said to have been a disciplinarian, who believed Army promotions should be based on social connec-tions rather than ability.Alexander
This is popular in Scotland, where Alexander III was regarded as one of the country’s greatest rulers. In April this year, Willem-Alexander was sworn in as King of the Netherlands after the abdication of his mother, Queen Beatrix.Louis
This name has deep significance in the Windsor family in honour of the Prince of Wales’s favourite uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was killed by the IRA in 1979. Louis is the last of William’s three middle names. (Daily Mail)

Brad Pitt's Movie Set-Trailer Has All the Comforts of Home
Ever wondered how Brad Pitt lives during filming? Well, take a look at this! The new season of Celebrity Motor Homes got a sneak peek at Pitt's million-dollar movie trailer – including his master bedroom, which features a queen-sized bed! "Are you kidding me? This thing's bigger than my apartment," says stunned show star Drew Waters as he steps into the 48-ft.-long trailer on the first episode of the new season (premiering Wednesday, July 17, at 9 p.m. ET). The father-of-six has a luxury home away from home when he's on the set of his movies, and the trailer is equipped with everything Pitt (and his fiancée Angelina Jolie and their kids) could need. Featuring four extra-large pullouts that give it even more room for the Jolie-Pitt crew, the trailer has a chef's kitchen that cost more than $60,000, with a full-size fridge and a dishwasher. The living room features a 10-ft.-long leather sofa, big enough for at least four kids to stretch out on, and a big TV that's perfect for playing video games. The master bedroom is a neutral-toned oasis that has two bathrooms, including a walk-in shower for two, and plenty of room for the family and Pitt's hair and makeup team. The first episode of the show – which airs on Great American Country – also features a tour of singer Jake Owen's lavish tour bus. That boasts its own walk-in closet, beer on tap, six bunks, a master bedroom and a baby crib, while the pregame hangout of the Dallas Cowboys also features rare football artifacts and huge plasma-screen TVs on every wall.
Angelina Jolie Tops Forbes's List of Highest-Paid Actresses
When it comes to earnings, Angelina Jolie is Hollywood's queen. Forbes has named Jolie, 38, the highest-earning actress from June 2012 to June 2013, even though she hasn't starred in a major film in three years and took time off for her elective double mastectomy. The magazine released its list of highest-paid actresses on Monday and credits Jolie's star turn in the upcoming film Maleficent for helping her secure the top spot, with an impressive $33 million in overall entertainment-related earnings.
(Forbes estimates she took home at least $15 million for the role.)
The Disney film, a retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty story from the perspective of the evil queen (played by Jolie), hits theaters next summer and marks her first return to a big-budget film since appearing alongside Johnny Depp in The Tourist in December 2010. Jolie beat out recent Best Actress Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence for the top spot by a wide margin.
Forbes estimates Lawrence took home about $26 million in the past year, but with plenty of room to grow: the next installment in The Hunger Games franchise is set for release in November. Kristen Stewart came in third with $22 million, and is still cashing in on the Twilight series, although the magazine wonders for how much longer. RELATED: Angelina Jolie Photographed Scouting Film Locations in Hawaii Jennifer Aniston came in fourth with $20 million, and reportedly takes pay cuts to appear in films like We're The Millers and Horrible Bosses, which it says seems to appeal to her fun, comedic side. Rounding out the top ten are Emma Stone, Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Julia Roberts.
