A dozen paparazzi trailed Lindsay Lohan from outside her home to LAX this evening, as she and little sister Ali are off to New York to spend some quality time with their mother, as well as visit their brother Michael in college. Upon exiting their car at airport curbside, the Lohan sisters were beseiged with the zealous photographers, requiring some intervention from Lindsay's personal security. Upon exiting the elevator inside the checkpoint area, Lindsay and crew immediately encountered additional paparazzi and required the services of airport security and even stationed police officers. Perhaps Lindsay's striking photo shoot this week ( bit.ly ) has something to do with the paparazzi's fever?

Yemen is stepping up security measures at the Sanaa international airport, after the al-Qaeda in Arabic Peninsula threatened more attacks on American targets. The country had also come under criticism after a Nigerian allegedly attempted to blow up a US airliner on Christmas Day after it was revealed that the suspect had undergone training in Yemen. In a country where carrying weapons or daggers is a tradition, security guards at airports are taking no chances. Brand-new state of the art equipment - including advanced screening machines and a device capable of detecting various explosives - have been installed and travellers are being thoroughly searched. But is tighter airport security the answer to al-Qaeda threats? Many say the country must also address the issues that spawn radicalism and extremism. [February 18, 2010]
