Ch : 1 Introduction

Post 9-11 Environment led the world to enhance inbound & outbound security

Post 12-22 Failed Shoe Bomb attempt inflight forced TSA to ensure detection system

X-Ray Based baggage screening tech was modified for people screening

New tech was subject to criticism for health, nudity & personal insecurity concerns

TSA was estb by US Homeland Security and enforced screening & detection policies

All inbound & outbound air travellers were required to undergo Pre I/O Checks

CAA & ASF have got the approval of GoP for Installation of People Screening System

Ch : 1 Project Parameters by the Client

Project to be commissioned at all airports of the country by Dec 2016

Ch : 1 The System Technologies


A millimeter wave scanner is a whole-body

imaging device used for detecting objects concealed

underneath a person’s clothing using a form of

electromagnetic radiation. Typical uses for this

technology include detection of items for commercial

loss prevention, smuggling and screening at

government buildings and airport security

checkpoints. Several countries employ the scanners

for security screening

Millimeter Wave Scanners


Millimeter Wave Scanners


Backscatter X-ray is an advanced X-ray

imaging technology. Traditional X-ray

machines detect hard and soft materials by the

variation in transmission through the target. In

contrast, backscatter X-ray detects the

radiation that reflects from the target. It has

potential applications where less-destructive

examination is required, and can operate even

if only one side of the target is available for

examination.

Ch : 2 The Controversies

Health Hazards


Revealing Imagery


Obscene Strip Searches


Pat Down Searches : Personal Insecurity

Ch : 3 Research Methodology

The public concerns regarding privacy invasion of public / air

travelers due to exposure to full-body scanner systems causing, adverse

health and privacy concerns which tends people to avoid passage

through Full Body Security and Detection System.

Acquired images can also be viewed by the operators after inverting

it as clear nude picture of the subject, especially female travelers.
