Zoaiter on Airport Security: $1.4 Million Needed for Security Procedures
Public Works and Transport Minister Ghazi Zoaiter said on Tuesday that an amount of $1.4 million is required to buy equipment to complete the security procedures at the Rafik Hariri International Airport.
“We need funding to buy the equipment that serve the airport's safety and security,” he said in a press conference he held at the terminal.
“An amount of $1.4 million is needed to complete the measures at the airport. If the funds were not approved at the cabinet I will start the project with the available funds.”
Zoaiter's comments came after Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq raised fears last week saying that the airport suffers from “security gaps.”
He vowed while on a visit to Britain that he will exert efforts to address the “security gaps” at the terminal, hours after suicide bombers killed 35 people and wounded over 200 at Brussels airport and a metro train.

This is really a shame, he's talking about peanuts! If the state can not fund a $1.4 millions project, one wonders what they are capable of doing? It only takes each minister to donate 0.5% of the illegal benefits he/she gets, and problem solved.
