I-Netherlands isebenzisa izikena zomzimba ezipheleleyo zeenqwelomoya eziya e-US

I-HAGUE, Netherlands - I-Netherlands ibhengeze uLwesithathu ukuba iza kuqalisa kwangoko ukusebenzisa i-scanners egcwele umzimba kwiinqwelomoya eziya e-United States, isithi oko bekunokuyekisa ukuzama ukuqhushumba kwenqwelomoya yoSuku lweKrisimesi.

I-US ibingafuni ukuba ezi scanner zisetyenziswe ngaphambili ngenxa yeenkxalabo zabucala kodwa ngoku abalawuli baka-Obama bavumile ukuba "onke amanyathelo anokuthi asetyenziswe kwiinqwelomoya eziya e-US," Umphathiswa wezangaphakathi waseDatshi uGuusje Ter Horst uxelele inkomfa yeendaba.

U-Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab ukhwele i-Northwest Airlines Flight 253 ukuya e-Detroit esuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Amsterdam e-Schiphol ngoLwesihlanu ephethe iziqhushumbisi ezingabhaqwanga, abasemagunyeni bomthetho bathi, bongeza ukuba iNigerian eneminyaka engama-23 izamile kodwa yasilela ukuyiqhumisa inqwelomoya ethwele abantu abangama-289.

“Ayibaxi ukuthi umhlaba usindile kwintlekele,” utshilo uTer Horst, ebiza le meko “njengohlaselo lobugrogrisi” be-al-Qaida.

I-Amsterdam's Schiphol ineeskena zomzimba ezili-15, nganye ixabisa ngaphezulu kwe-200,000 yeedola. Kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku iManyano yaseYurophu okanye i-US ayikuvumanga ukusetyenziswa kweskena kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya zaseYurophu.

Ilungu lezomthetho eliphambili laseYurophu libongoze iManyano yaseYurophu ukuba iqalise ngokukhawuleza ukufaka izixhobo ezitsha kwibloc yamazwe angama-27, kodwa azikho ezinye izizwe zaseYurophu ezilandele kwangoko inyathelo lamaDatshi.

Izixhobo zokuskena zomzimba ezibonwa ngaphantsi kwempahla sele zineminyaka zifumaneka, kodwa abo bathethelela izinto eziyimfihlo bathi “lukukhangela i-virtual strip” kuba babonisa umfanekiso womzimba kwiscreen sekhompyuter.

U-Ian Dowty, igqwetha elineAction on Rights of the Child, uthe ukuvumela abantwana ukuba badlule kwi-scanners kukwaphula imithetho yephonografi yabantwana.

“Ibonisa ubuni,” uxelele I-Associated Press. “Ngokuphathelele kumthetho wamaNgesi … akukho semthethweni ukuba alindilisekanga.”

Ngeso sizathu, abasemagunyeni baseBhritane bakhululile abangaphantsi kweminyaka eli-18 kuvavanyo lokuskena umzimba kwiindawo ezibandakanya iSikhululo sasePaddington eLondon kunye neHeathrow kunye nesikhululo seenqwelomoya saseManchester.

Isoftware entsha, nangona kunjalo, iyayiphelisa loo ngxaki ngokuveza umfanekiso owenziwe ngesitayile endaweni yomfanekiso wokwenyani kwiscreen sekhompyuter, iqaqambisa indawo yomzimba apho izinto zifihlwe ezipokothweni okanye phantsi kwempahla.

U-Ter Horst uthe iiskena kusenokwenzeka ukuba zazise oonogada ngezixhobo ezifihlwe kwimpahla yangaphantsi ka-Abdulmutallab kwaye bamthintele ekukhweleni inqwelomoya yaseMntla-ntshona.

“Imbono yethu ngoku yeyokuba ukusetyenziswa kweemilimitha zokuskena amaza ngokuqinisekileyo bekuya kunceda ukufumanisa ukuba unento ethile emzimbeni wakhe, kodwa awunakuze unike isiqinisekiso se-100 ekhulwini,” utshilo.

Ubuncinci izikena ezibini eAmsterdam ziye zavavanya ukusebenzisa isoftware engasebenziyo ukusukela ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba kwaye amaDatshi athi ezo ziya kusetyenziswa ngokukhawuleza. Zonke ezinye iiskena ziya kuphuculwa kwiiveki ezintathu.

Kodwa iiskena ezili-15 aziyi kugubungela iinqwelomoya ezingama-25 ukuya kwezingama-30 ngosuku ezisuka eAmsterdam zisiya kwiindawo eziya e-US, kwaye abakhweli emasangweni ngaphandle komnye baya kubethelwa phantsi. U-Schiphol ulinde umyalelo karhulumente malunga nokuba uthenge oomatshini abaninzi, isithethi sesikhululo seenqwelomoya uKathelijn Vermeulen uthe.

Unobhala woKhuseleko lweLizwe uJanet Napolitano uxelelwe ngoLwesibini ngumphathiswa wezobulungisa waseDatshi ngalo mbandela, isithethi se-arhente uAmy Kudwa satsho eWashington.

“Isikhululo seenqwelomoya saseSchiphol asifuni mvume yase-United States yokubonisa ngaphezulu nangaphaya kwemigangatho ye-ICAO. Ngokuqinisekileyo siyayixhasa itekhnoloji yokucinga ephucukileyo, njengoko siyisebenzisa apha, ”utshilo kwingxelo.

Kwingxelo yokuqala ekhutshwe ngolwesiThathu, urhulumente waseDatshi ubize isicwangciso sokuqhumisa inqwelomoya e-Detroit “yobuchwephesha” kodwa wathi ukuphunyezwa kwayo “kwakungafezekanga.”

U-Ter Horst uthe u-Abdulmutallab ngokucacileyo wahlanganisa isixhobo esiqhumayo, kuquka i-80 grams ye-Petrite, okanye i-PETN, kwindlu yangasese yendiza, emva koko icwangcise ukuyihlambulula ngesirinji yeekhemikhali. Uthe iziqhushumbisi zibonakala zilungiselelwe ngokufanelekileyo kwaye zinikwe u-Abdulmutallab, kodwa akazange achaze.

"Indlela kule meko ibonisa - nangona ukusilela kohlaselo - indlela efanelekileyo yobuchwephesha," isishwankathelo sophando sathi. "I-Pentrite sisiqhushumbisi esinamandla esiqhelekileyo, ekungekho lula ukuvelisa ngokwakho."

Ukuba ufuna ukuyidubula, kufuneka uyenze ngenye indlela kunokuba wenzayo. Yiyo loo nto sithetha nge-amateurism, ”utshilo uTer Horst.

U-Abdulmutallab wafika e-Amsterdam ngoLwesihlanu evela eLagos, eNigeria ngenqwelomoya ye-KLM. Emva kokuhlala phantsi kweeyure ezingaphantsi kweeyure ezintathu kwiholo yokusuka kumazwe ngamazwe, wadlula kwitshekhi yokhuseleko kwisango laseAmsterdam, kuquka ukuskena imithwalo yesandla kunye nesixhobo sentsimbi, waza wakhwela inqwelomoya yaseMntla-ntshona. Akazange adlule kwiskena somzimba ogcweleyo.

U-Abdulmutallab wayephethe ipasipoti yaseNigeria esemthethweni kwaye wayene-visa yase-US esebenzayo, amaDatshi athi. Igama lakhe alizange livele kulo naluphi na uluhlu lwamaDatshi lwabarhanelwa bobugrogrisi.

“Akukho micimbi ikrokrisayo enokunika isizathu sokuhlela umntu obandakanyekayo njengomkhweli osemngciphekweni omkhulu ichongiwe ngexesha lokujonga ukhuseleko,” utshilo uTer Horst.

U-Erik Ackerboom, intloko ye-Dutch counterterrorism bureau, wachitha iingcebiso zokuba u-Abdulmutallab wayefanele ukuba avuse ukukrokra xa ehlawula ithikithi lokuya nokubuya ukusuka eLagos ukuya eDetroit ngemali kwaye wayengenayo imithwalo yokungena.

Ukuhlawula imali e-Afrika akuqhelekanga, watsho, kwaye ukungabikho kwesutikheyisi etshekishwayo “yayingesosizathu sokoyika.”

U-Abdulmutallab, otyholwa ngokuzama ukutshabalalisa inqwelomoya, uvalelwe kwintolongo yaseMilan, eMichigan.

E-US, iiskena ezigcwele umzimba ezingama-40 zisebenza ubuncinci kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezili-19 zase-US.

Izikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezithandathu zase-US zizisebenzisela uhlolo lokuqala: Albuquerque, NM; eLas Vegas; eMiami; Esan Francisco; IsiXeko saseSalt Lake; kunye noTulsa, Okla.Abakhweli badlula kwizikena endaweni yesixhobo sokukhangela intsimbi, nangona benokukhetha ukufumana uphendlo oluvela kwigosa lokhuseleko endaweni yoko.

Abanye oomatshini basetyenziswa kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezili-13 zase-US ukuvavanya abakhweli abamise isixhobo sokubona intsimbi. Kodwa abo bahambi banokukhetha i-pat-down endaweni yoko.

Kamva ngolwesiThathu, iNigeria ivakalise inyathelo lamaDatshi, kunye neNtloko yeGunya lokuPhathwa kweenqwelomoya uHarold Demuren eLagos esithi iarhente yakhe iya kuthenga izikena ezipheleleyo zomzimba kwaye unethemba lokuqalisa ukuzifaka kunyaka olandelayo.

Ezo zimvo ziphikisana nengxelo ye-2009 evela kwiSebe le-US State, eyathi urhulumente waseNigeria uvumile ukufakwa kwe-scanner ye-US exhaswa ngemali yi-US kuzo zonke izikhululo zeenqwelomoya zaseNigeria zamazwe ngamazwe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.

Ezi ngxelo azikwazanga kulungelelaniswa kwangoko.

Umongameli uBarack Obama ufune ingxelo yokuqala ngoLwesine kubaphathi bezokhuseleko baseMelika malunga nokuba yintoni engahambi kakuhle kwityala lenqwelomoya yaseDetroit. U-Obama uthe uluntu lwezobuntlola bekufanele ukuba lukwazi ukudibanisa ulwazi olunokuthi luphakamise "iiflegi ezibomvu" kwaye mhlawumbi zithintele u-Abdulmutallab ukuba akhwele kwinqwelomoya.

"Bekukho ukuxubana kokusilela kwabantu kunye nenkqubo ethe yanegalelo kolu lwaphulo-mthetho olunokuthi lube yintlekele," utshilo u-Obama ngoLwesibini eHawaii, ebiza ukusilela kubukrelekrele "akwamkelekanga kwaphela."

U-Abdulmutallab wayefakwe kwidathabheyisi enye ebanzi, kodwa akazange afikelele kuluhlu olunemiqathango ngakumbi olwaluza kubamba ingqalelo yabase-US abachasene nabanqolobi, ngaphandle kwezilumkiso zikayise kumagosa ozakuzo wase-US eNigeria kwinyanga ephelileyo. Ezo zilumkiso azizange zibangele ukuba i-visa ka-Abdulmutallab yase-US irhoxiswe.

Kulo nyaka uphelileyo iPalamente yaseYurophu ivotele kakhulu ngokuchaseneyo nokusetyenziswa kweskena kwaye yacela ukuba kuqhutyekwe nokufunda, nto leyo eyavumela uSchiphol ukuba enze uvavanyo lokulinga iiskena.

Kodwa inkcaso iye yaphela ngolwe-Lwesithathu xa uPeter van Dalen, usekela-sihlalo wekomiti yezothutho yendibano ye-EU, wathi umboniso wamva nje eSchiphol wabonisa ukuba izixhobo azichaphazeli ubumfihlo babakhweli.

Sekunjalo, iqela lamalungelo edijithali laseDatshi, iBits of Freedom, labiza isigqibo ngokuba sisenzo esiqhutywa luloyiko.

“Ithuba lokuba ubani abe lixhoba lohlaselo lwabanqolobi emoyeni lincinane kakhulu kunethuba lokubethwa ngumbane,” labhala eli qela kwileta evulekileyo eyayisiya kwiSebe Lezobulungisa laseDatshi.

UPhilip Baum, umhleli weAviation Security International, uthe izixhobo zokuskena azisayi kubamba izinto ezenziwa ngaphakathi, indlela eqhelekileyo yokuthutyeleziswa kwabo bathengisa iziyobisi.

“Kwakhona, sijonge itekhnoloji yokulungisa ngokukhawuleza xa bekufanele ukuba sisebenzisa eyona teknoloji ibalaseleyo ikhoyo- ingqondo yomntu,” utshilo. "Kufuneka sijonge abantu."

Ngeli xesha, amagosa athi ngolwesithathu indoda izame ukukhwela inqwelo moya kwikomkhulu laseSomalia eMogadishu kwinyanga ephelileyo iphethe imichiza engumgubo, ulwelo kunye nesirinji kwityala elifana nelo yelenqe lenqwelomoya yaseDetroit.

Indoda yaseSomalia - egama layo lingekakhululwa - yabanjwa ngamajoni agcina uxolo eManyano ye-Afrika ngaphambi kokuba inqwelomoya ye-Daallo Airlines ye-13 Nov. Bekucwangciselwe ukuhamba ukusuka eMogadishu ukuya kwisixeko esisemantla eSomalia iHargeisa, emva koko siye eDjibouti naseDubai. Isithethi samapolisa aseSomalia, u-Abdulahi Hassan Barise, uthe umrhanelwa uselugcinweni lwaseSomalia.

“Asazi nokuba unxulumana ne-al-Qaida okanye eminye imibutho yangaphandle, kodwa isenzo sakhe ibizizenzo zobunqolobi. Simbambe ngobhongwana,” utshilo uBarise.

Abaphandi baseMelika bathi u-Abdulmutallab wabaxelela ukuba ufumene uqeqesho kunye nemiyalelo evela kubasebenzi be-al-Qaida eYemen, engaphaya kweGulf of Aden esuka eSomalia.
