France Discusses Security Measures in Train Stations: An armed attack on the Amsterdam-Paris train last week brought security to train agenda in France.
In the discussion that started after the attacker Eyüb El Khazzani got on the train with the guns and injured 3 people, it was asked to increase the security in the train stations.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the French Railways (SNCF) will introduce a new trick from September 1, which allows passengers to report abnormal situations. French Transport Minister Alain Vidalies said it was not possible to check all the luggage, but the luggage of the suspect would continue to be checked. He expressed that the application in France is an effective solution for safety in trains.
SNCF President Guillaume Pepy reminded that 3 bin security officer is working in cooperation with the police for the safety of trains throughout France. He added that security measures will be further strengthened.
It is stated that the implementation of security measures such as airports in train stations is not possible for now. SNCF President Pepy said, “I do not find the idea of applying the system at the airports to the train stations right now. The number of passengers at the train stations is 20 times higher than the airports. ” said.
University of Toulouse Professor Marc Ivaldi also emphasized the complex structure of the train stations. He argued that it was impossible to introduce new security measures in all train stations in a short time.
On Friday, the fast train belonging to Belgium from Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, to Paris, the capital of France, wounded Moroccan citizen Eyüb El Kazzani with 3 guns.
