Flew from Bahrain to Athens on the way to Shannon & the US once. We had to stay on the plane in Athens because of terrorism problems. This was 2 decades ago.
Probably worse now.
no its not, this is the same left wing nuts which were left over from 1951. They are just trying to scare the tourism industry.
This is not the sercurity or the environment of 20 years ago. I was there 20 years ago, it could be they kept you on the plane for other reasons.
