The new measures began on Thursday.
In Dubai, long-haul carrier Emirates began questioning passengers about their luggage, liquids they were carrying and where they were coming from. Passengers also had to have their carry-on bags searched, along with their electronics.

Royal Jordanian, based in Amman, also has said it would introduce the new procedures in mid-January.
