上海警方在浦东机场举办安全讲座 2023-07-01
If a stranger offers to pay you to carry part of his luggage when you're checking in at the airport, would you say yes?
If your friend tells you that he has a kind of "stay sober" pill during a party, would you try it?
Zhang Chaojing, policeman at the Shanghai Qingdong Rehabilitation Center, told exit-entry passengers, especially young travelers, that they must say "No" during a speech on Thursday at Pudong International Airport.
It's part of an activity hosted by the city's drug rehabilitation bureau to raise security awareness among young people.
It was co-organized with the international airport public security sub bureau, the frontier inspection department, School of Languages under Shanghai University of International Business and Economics and the airport. Around 20 students from the school took part in the activity.
Zhang said: "There might be illegal drugs in his luggage. So if you accept his request, it's likely that you helped the offender smuggle drugs unintentionally."
He added that the drug abuse problem is serious in some other countries, and travelers should not take something unknown out of curiosity and conformity.
Some staff of different departments also made speeches about fraud, exit-entry policies and safety rules for airplanes, with vivid cases.
Ye Ailin, a sophomore at the school, said she plans to study overseas soon, and Thursday's activity was enlightening.
"Because of the complicated international situation, my parents have expressed their worries about my future overseas study," she said. "I will stay away from places like nightclubs to reduce the possibility of seeing drugs and other dangers."
Meanwhile, an alliance was established by these authorities for the security of lives and property of the youth.
