It helps to divide the passengers into large group with little or no risk and small group who merit additional attention. ii. It helps to avoid application of additional security procedure on legitimate passenger. iii. Security staff can better focus on its resources with special attention on small selected group of suspected passenger. 2. Advantages and Limitations of ‘HHMD’? Advantages:- i. Useful in detecting metallic items both ferrous and non-ferrous, ii. Portable, Easy to use and easy to carry iii. Provide touch free security check, iv. It’s safe for Pace makers, Magnetic tapes and pregnant ladies. Limitations:- i. Give false alarm may malfunction, ii. Cannot detect non-metallic items, iii. Cannot detect plastic explosives, iv. Cannot detect replicas made of other materials or same components of IED may not be identified. v. Time consuming 3. Advantages and Limitations of “DFMD”? Advantages:- i. Can identify both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ii. Give fair idea of the location of metal in the body, iii. Faster way to check the passenger, iv. Easy to operate, v. Safe for pacemaker, magnetic tapes and pregnant ladies. Limitations:- i. Proper distance should be maintain between two persons, otherwise gives false alarm, (90 cm or 3 feet) ii. Can detect metallic items on a specific range only, iii. Cannot detect non-metallic prohibited items, iv. Cannot detect plastic explosives, v. Cannot detect replicas made of other materials or some components of IED may not be identified. 4. Advantages and disadvantages of ‘X-RAY BIS’? Advantages:- Disadvantages:- i. Enables speedy screening i. Only trained staff can operate (as good as the quality of screener) ii. Convenience to the passenger ii. Very costly iii. Less manpower required iii. Efficiency depends on human factor iv. Safe for food, drug and film iv. Not easily portable v. Provide better screening for electronic items v. Spare parts not available at all times (repair becomes difficult) 5. Advantages and limitations of “EVD/ETD”? Advantages: - i. Can detect almost all kinds of explosives, ii. Capable of detecting small amount of explosives, iii. Light weight, easy to carry, iv. Quick results (quick detects explosive concealed in baggage), v. Lesser false alarms. SABRE-4000 EVD IONSCAN 500DT ETD Limitations:- i. Cannot detects arms, detonators and power source, iv. Trained staff required, ii. Costly, v. Warm up time is very high (above 20 min) iii. Difficult to maintain, 6. “GATE PLANS / SCREENING POINTS”? CONCOURSE PLAN (Centralized):- Complete terminal building is made sterile. At the access point, screening of passenger and baggage is carried out. Advantages: - Disadvantages: - i. Less staff required i. Pax have to report well in advance for the checks ii. Less equipment required ii. Mixing of passengers of various flights, iii. More time available for staff to carry out checks iii. Requires security of a large area iv. Pax have no direct access to aircraft or apron 19 M. NALINI KUMAR – HYD – Turbo / 8985036091 HOLDING AREA PLAN (Semi-Centralized):- An area is designated as security hold area and is made sterile. Advantages: - Disadvantages: - i. Less staff required i. To be secured when not in use, ii. Less equipment required ii. Pax have to report well in advance for the checks iii. Segregation of pax for different flights iii. Large area to controlled and secured when not in use iv. Less pressure to examine passenger BOARDING GATE PLAN (Decentralized):- Both the passenger and their baggage is checked before boarding to the aircraft. Advantages: - Disadvantages: - i. Reduces transfer of arms/dangerous devices, i. Less number of screening staff/equipment’s, ii. To be staffed only during screening ii. Access of the gate to be controlled, iii. Pax do not have to report very early iii. Pax can have access to aircraft or apron easily iv. Less time available for checks 7. Advantages and limitations of ‘HAND SEARCH”? Advantages: - Disadvantages: - i. Not required any equipment’s i. Cannot check large – labor intensive ii. Direct inspection of items ii. Difficult to search complex items iii. Most sense may be Touch, smell iii. Used – sight, trained staff required 8. ‘X-RAY’ Generator location and its advantages and disadvantages? The image of an object depends on the placement of the objects on the conveyor belt. The placement depends on the location of the x-ray generator. TOP-DOWN Beamer: - In this type of X-BIS the x-ray generator is located above the baggage inspection tunnel and the x-ray became are generates from top-down wards direction. TOP Generator Advantages:- Disadvantages:- i. Space saving design i. Performance limitation, ii. Low conveyor belt, ii. Unsafe for children as can be easily reached. iii. Easy to handle bulky baggage, iii. Bag cannot be feed vertically DOWN-TOP Beamer: - In this type of X-BIS generator is located below the baggage inspection tunnel and the X-ray beams are generated in down-up direction. DOWN Generator Advantages:- Disadvantages: - i. Space saving design, i. High conveyor belt, ii. High performance ii. Difficult to handle bulky baggage iii. Magnitude of Objects iii. Baggage cannot be put vertically SIDE Beamer: - In this type of X-BIS, the x-ray generator is in the side of machine and the x-ray beams are generated from side. SIDE Generator Advantages:- Disadvantages i. Low conveyor belt, i. Not a space saving design, ii. High performance, ii. Unsafe for children as can be reached easily, iii. Easy to handle bulky baggage. iii. Bag cannot be feed horizontally 9. Inline baggage system Advantages and Disadvantages? Advantages: Disadvantages: i. Multi-Level High tech screening system i. More man power required ii. Automatic machines ii. More Equipment’s required iii. Inbuilt Explosive detectors iii. Time taken process iv. High Through put rate iv. Very costly 10. SIMULATION CHAMBER (Decompression Chamber): - Simulation chamber is a cylindrical vessel mounted on a concrete slab with chamber walls which can withstand the pressure of explosion of 5kgs of TNT. It operates on the principle of activating the explosive device in the suspect object by simulating the physical conditions arising in a real air journey. Advantages: Limitations: i. Simulate cargo hold in flight conditions i. Expensive fixed installations ii. Activate barometric triggering devices ii. Not a detection system iii. Not required man power iii.
