Yes.  This was brought up in the Turkish thread but definitely needs its own.
I have return flights through there in about 2 weeks -
any suggestions?

If you stay within the security area and don't leave, I'd think it's as secure as the Brussels airport- or any other European airport. Probably more secure than going before this attack...

They have to start having security at the entrance of all airports! Not just by the check in!

So that they can bomb the line outside the airport?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Connecting flights have to go through security again...
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Supposedly they got shot right before they were able to get into the terminal then detonated themselves.

But again, this is just a quick saying, can be highly false info as well

assuming more damage and ppl dying will happen in an enclosed area rather then having it outside which will have more room to go so the effect will be less. (correct me if I'm wrong).
