G4S taking over Kuwait Airport


‘GS4’ to monitor security at airport

The Ministry of Interior Wednesday morning has signed a working contract with the multinational security service company known as G4S, on the grounds of strengthening the security of Kuwait International Airport through series of consultations and specialized training for the airport security workforce.

The ministry, through its media security department disclosed that this London based company is one of the leading companies in the field of airport security, and that this step has been taken in order to increase the level of security of the country’s airport to the highest possible international standard, although it was not clarified whether this step was prompted by the attack on Istanbul’s Ataturk airport Tuesday night.

On behalf of the Minister of Interior Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled, the media department stated that this step is but one amongst a series of planned directives aimed at raising the efficiency of airport security alongside the upgrade of security equipment as to keep up with the technological developments of this field.

The minister added that the Interior Ministry has deemed it vital to upgrade the level of airport security in order to prevent any possible dangers and correct flaws pointed out by technical reports, hopefully bringing its status up to one of the safest airports in the region and the world

---If I'm not mistaken one of the security firms for an American company is G4S and they have security guards from Fiji working in their apartment building. Those guys are huge, I had to ask where the were from because they reminded me of The Rock and they told me Fiji, I also had to ask if they had tribal tattoos and do the war dance and they said yes. This led me to ask if they performed their war dance and said maybe October, that would be awesome to see.

If they hired guys from Fiji for the airport I'm sure there wouldn't be any problems, who wants to mess with a 6'5 man with huge arms?

Sloan's Ice Cream Shop

While cruising around Promenade Mall in Hawally we came across this cute and quirky ice cream shop. They had loads of different flavors, cookies, brownies and candy. They have one-of-a-kind offers such as a Sandcastle Sunday served in a bucket that includes 5 scoops of ice cream or the one I want to try- Tracy's kitchen sink, served in what looks like a kitchen sink which includes 18 scoops of ice cream, cookies and lots more.







 The actual kitchen sink bowl

It is a bit pricey compared to Baskin Robbin's but I like the quirky Sundaes.

When people steal your Posts

I came across this on FB and it really ticks me off (using nice words but I mean something else) when people do this and think it's ok. They actually took time to watermark their website on it as well. It's good to allow people to send you pictures etc, but try to find the source before you post them.

Original post....
After messaging Kuwait Today they sent me their source picture, again someone not crediting me.
