The Adoption of Advanced Technologies
- Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT): This technology uses millimeter wave or backscatter X-ray technology to create detailed images of a person's body, which can help screeners detect items that may be hidden under clothing.
- Automated Screening Lanes (ASL): These lanes use technology such as conveyor belts, automated bins, and X-ray machines to speed up the screening process and reduce the need for manual inspections.
- Biometric identification: This technology uses fingerprints, iris scans, or facial recognition to identify and verify the identity of travelers. Biometrics can also be used for access control, for example, to enter a restricted area, or for self-boarding.
- Behavioral analysis: This technology uses video cameras, artificial intelligence, and other tools to detect behavioral cues that may indicate a person poses a threat.
- Trace detection: This technology uses chemical analysis to detect trace amounts of explosives, drugs or other prohibited items.
It is important to note that these technologies are constantly evolving, and new technologies are constantly being developed and tested to enhance the security screening process at airports.
