Estonia's border guard has tightened security at the Tallinn airport and on the country's southern border ahead of a visit by U.S.A. President George. W. Bush.

The border service has stepped up checks at Estonian borders since the visit by Queen Elizabeth II last month. By order of Interior Minister Kalle Laanet, everyone crossing the border will be subject to a far stricter electronic analysis until Nov. 30.
Bush is scheduled to arrive in Estonia on Nov. 28 before traveling to Latvia on Nov. 28.
