Unprecedented Security At Tutankhamun Exhibition

Life Style Extra

Priceless Egyptian treasures at the forthcoming Tutankhamun exhibition will be subject to unprecedented security against the threat of robbery or even terrorist strikes.The show, which opens on November 15 at the O2 Centre, will feature 42 artefacts never seen before in the UK and organisers are determined that nothing will go wrong.Airport style S-ray machines will be used to screen every visitor, CCTV will cover every angle and sniffer dogs will be present to seek out explosives and biological agents such as anthrax.It is the first time the treasures, including the Egyptian king's crown, have travelled to Britain in 35 years, but this may be the last chance to view them.
