Is the security at Dubai International Airport very strict?

Answer 1

Significantly relaxed as far as carrying the usual liquid and aerosols,be smart and pack them in clear plastic and under 100 ml each...besides not a lot of scanning and hand held detector use is rare as they have a more traditional system whereby they monitor behaviour through CCTV and un-uniformed security,there are significantly high standards of baggage screening both inbound and outbound since 2000 after they have installed ultra high tech systems Behind the Scenes and also have sniffer dogs behing the baggage belts much to the unawares of many passengers.
