There are NO airport security regulations prohibiting the taking of pictures in security restricted areas
Somebody who knows what he’s talking about has sent in the following message:
There are NO airport security regulations prohibiting any person from taking photos in security restricted areas within the terminal.
The only area where photos cannot be taken is the screening point before the departures lounge, and that does not actually stem out of any law or regulation, but is something that is imposed and enforced by the airport operator itself.
The police are way out of their depth here. The first thing that Kurt Sansone would have done, if he were a real journalist and had no agenda, is ask the police under which chapter and article of the law they investigated Norman Vella when they arrested him. But of course he won’t be doing that any time soon.

The police statement said that they took action because of an alleged offence in an area controlled by the police.
If the police are emboldened to do as they wish and violate the law themselves in public areas under their control, what do they do to arrested persons, held sight unseen?
Din li storja ta’ Norman Vella giet mahluqa apposta biex tkun ta’ diversiv ghal gurnalisti u ghal poplu in generali biex issiru affararijiet ohra min taht bhal laqghat mad-delegazzjoni Ciniza li giet mohbija mill-poplu u l-gurnalisti jkunu medija bil-kaz ta’ Norman u f’dan il-kaz Norman ikun gie fremjat.
“Giet mohbija mill-poplu ” meta ma nafx kemm ittiehdu ritratti u saru diskorsi, u nkitbu stejjer , meta kien gie ffirmat il-Memorandum of Understanding mal-kumpanija Ciniza ??? Din id-delegazzjoni hija rizultat ta’ dak il- ftehim allura kif jista wiehed jimmagina li l-wasla ta’ in id-delegazzjoni ” inzammet sigrieta” meta waslu fl-ajruport u gew milqugha mill-ministru Konrad Mizzi. U ttiehdu ritratti ???????????????
Ara veru m’ghandkhomx m x’hiex taqbdu, u kull tibna tahsbu li tistghu turuwha daqs l-Akbar zokk ta’ sigra !
Iss, Defni, mhux fer, lill-Eddy hallejtu jaghmel maltipill kwexcinmarks.
Eddy read my lips: greeting someone at the airport does not Indicate in any way the agenda or content of a meeting.
Ara x’qala’ l-bahar.
U meta qatt il-Labour semma’ dak il-memo Eddie?
Daphne sabitu f’gazzetta Ciniza online tlett snin ilu. Sal-llum ghadna ma nafux x’hemm miktub.
Ara vera ruffjan xbin, mohhok biex tghatti xturhom.
Eddy kemm int ipokrita! Intkom mhux hekk kontu taghmlu, ghall kull nitfa taqalaw terrimot?
Iva Muscat u l-gvern tieghu qed jimxu hazin hafna u b’suspetti koroh. U dan l’ewwel 8 xhur taghhom fil-gvern.
Possibbli li ma tismax garr minn nies? Jew int l’ikbar giddieb wara Muscat?
Ghalxejn tiprova tiddefendi lill zowzef ghax issa hareg il veru gurnalista tas-superone minn vera hu.
Eddy – tant hemm ma x’hiex taqbad, li wiehed jibda jitfixkel minn fejn se jibda! Farsa wara ohra, gili xi tnejn jew tlieta kuljum.
We knew your lot would be bad, Eddy, but we never DREAMED it would be THIS bad. As for you, you are so blinded (‘blinkered’ isn’t even in the same ballpark) by your pathetic-to-the-point-of-comical faith in all things Labour, that you’ve even started making up your own stories.
Eddy, welcome back.
Carry on uncovering the Malta Labour Party’s deceit.
Eddy, il-pilloli u l-medicina qed issibhom fl-ispizerija ta’ l-ghazla tieghek? Hallsu anzjani u pensjonanti ghax hallejtu minn jidhaq bikom! Ser jeqred il-faqar kien jghidilna Joseph Muscat, mur emmnu.
Privitera, If only you knew what goes through my mind every time this name pops up. I’ll give you a clue: It’s going to be a super exceptional fun loving liberating day. tic toc …
Eddy gibthom il-pilloli jew tieghek out of stock?
Eddy, has Joseph Muscat not offered you a comfortable position on a board as yet?
Or are you paid from Castille to stay on the comments board of timesofmalta.com?
If exclamation and question marks were precious stones, Eddy Privitera would single-handedly have used up the world’s supply by now.
Amazing how a septuagenarian writes like a teenager with stunted intellectual abilities! (There, I used one exclamation mark before they run out).
Personally, I think that Ramona and the Coconut caught sight of Norman Vella and decided, “Let’s give that State Enemy a hard time.”
My exact feelings. I think they did it for a laugh.
Sadists, the blooming lot. However, he who laughs last laughs best.
Times will change and at the rate they are going, they will be hitting the brick wall sooner than anticipated.
I just hope that the PN would have learnt their lesson by then and start protecting their own for a change.
Kurt Sansone is just a mouth-piece for Labour. Just because he poses as a journalist, it doesn’t make him one. Shame on his editors for letting him create the damage that he does.
The Times has fallen in esteem, as the agenda of some of its reporters has, over the last few years but especially the last year, been only too apparent.
The way Kurt Sansone has reported this serious matter (and been allowed to report it that way by his superiors) makes the agenda evident.
The shifting of the issue of the Super One reporters course in London, which is of a national interest as it is being funded from government funds, to the events surrounding Norman Vella – Norman Vella, the bad boy, harassing two Government High Officials who were minding their own business at the departure area during his shift hours – mission accomplished.
It will take more than the occasional strong editorial for the Times to regain its previous esteem with the Maltese readers, except for likes of Privitera, who dominate its electronic version with their idiotic comments.
Kurt (Sansone), tista tara baqax nugrufun fil-bini minn meta il-Laburisti bhalek harqu t-Times?
Kurt Sansone is not fit to work with the supposed free press. He was uncovered for what he is in this serious matter concerning Norman Vella.
“Kurt, ghandna bzonnok fit-Times.”
“OK, Joseph, Uzani kif trid.”
Who controls the CCTV?
After all, they’re taking everyone’s picture.
In China the state owned television station is called CCTV and they control peoples minds in what kind of shows they broadcast and new they report…… we will follow that trend
Poor Sansone he is still waiting for his candyfloss
Privitera, taf x’ghandek taghmel bil-akbar zokk ta’ sigra hux?
