北京地铁违禁品更新:携4斤以上白酒乘客禁入

14日,北京晨报记者从北京警方获悉,今后,市民携5个(含)以上的打火机将被禁止搭乘地铁。随着新版《北京市轨道交通禁止携带物品目录》陆续在地铁站内外张贴,白酒、火柴以及花露水等此前容易被混淆的物品正式被“拉黑”。市公安局公交总队表示,科技含量更高的安检设备未来将投入使用,检测速度更快、结果更精准。

(ECNS) - Beijing has updated its list of prohibited items for subway passengers, and has also vowed to enhance security checks by using more advanced equipment, the Beijing Morning Post reported Friday.

Passengers are now allowed to carry four cigarette lighters at most, according to the list.

Chinese baijiu, a flammable, pungent white liquor, is also on the list for the first time. Subway passengers can take no more than 2,000 milliliters of baijiu, a hugely popular drink in China.

Also new on the list are matchs and flowery water used to avoid heat-rash or deter mosquitoes. Passengers are not allowed to carry 10 or more boxes of matches (200 or more matchsticks) on a subway train.

The list also makes more demands regarding various tools that can be taken onboard, expanding the list of banned items to kitchen knives, cleavers, some knives used in tailoring, and hammers.

Tan Quan, the deputy director of the Beijing Police Public Traffic Division, says security equipment will be upgraded to enhance accuracy and speed to cope with large numbers of passengers.

He says the ban list is stricter than that for train passengers, as the subway operates in a closed space and the number of passengers reaches close to 10 mill.
