Soon, no need to take out electronic devices from hand baggage for scanning at airports
New Delhi, Dec 21 (PTI) Aviation security watchdog BCAS has recommended installation of scanners based on computer tomography technology at airports whereby passengers will not be required to take out electronic devices from their hand baggage before going through the scanner.
Currently, the scanners used at airports provide a two-dimensional view of the objects inside a hand baggage. Jaideep Prasad, Joint Director General of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), on Wednesday said the regulator has proposed installing scanners based on computer tomography technology at airports that will provide a three-dimensional view of the objects in hand baggage.
“With such scanners, passengers will not be required to take out their electronic devices from hand baggage before going through the scanner,” he told PTI. Installation of such scanners is also expected to help in speeding up the security check in process at airports. Specific details about the recommendation could not be immediately ascertained.
