Study Notes
Airport Security Screening Overview
- Centralized screening maximizes efficiency by requiring less manpower and equipment.
- However, at busy airports during peak periods, the waiting time at security screening can be long.
- Decentralized screening includes holding area screening and boarding gate screening.
- Decentralized screening isolates the impact of a screening failure to a specific area, but it requires higher levels of staff and equipment, especially in busy airports.
- Cross flow of departure and arrival passengers at certain gates in Changi Airport poses a security risk under decentralized screening.
- Key principles of pre-board screening include verifying passenger authenticity, travel documents, and absence of offensive items.
- The pre-board screening process involves scanning boarding passes, X-raying cabin baggage, and random selection for additional screening.
- Hold baggage screening is conducted by a fully automated Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) system with five levels of screening.
- The levels of hold baggage screening involve automated evaluation, operator analysis, in-depth analysis, manual search, and disposal by an explosives disposal team if necessary.
- Millimeter wave scanners can penetrate clothing to reveal hidden threats and construct a 3-dimensional holographic image in real time.
- Explosives Detection System (EDS) and Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) are used for comprehensive screening of baggage and passengers for explosives residue.
- Bottled Liquid Scanner (BLS) technology can differentiate liquid explosives from benign liquids and is primarily used to screen medically necessary liquids.
