DACCA, Pakistan, Aug. 1— Pakistan's airliners do not get hijacked or sabotaged. A typical half‐hour flight with in strife‐torn East Pakistan shows why.

Checked luggage was opened and examined carefully by security agents. All passengers were relieved of their cameras and, unless they objected strenuously, of their flight bags and brief cases.

Male passengers were then lined up and thoroughly searched by soldiers. Pocket knives, umbrellas and other potential weapons were confiscated. Fountain pens were scrutinized: Pakistani tribesmen make pistols designed to look like pens.

Women passengers were taken to a room for a body search by an airline stewardess.

Stewardesses here double as security agents, and passengers often grumble that they seem better suited to prison work than airline jobs.

After those flight bags retained by their owners had been thoroughly searched again, passengers were permitted to walk out to the aircraft, but still another army inspection team awaited them.

The search at the foot of the boarding stairs was specifically for incendiary devices such as matches and cigarette lighters, all of which were collected in a paper bag. Since smoking was not permitted on the flight, the matches were not missed by passengers.

Finally, after passengers found seats for themselves, powerfully built soldier with a pistol and a light machine gun took his post at the door, glaring down the aisle.

The loudspeaker announced: “Welcome aboard. All passengers will remain in their seats during the flight by order of military authorities. We hope you have an enjoyable flight.”
