On the Ground: Security

Munich Airport has launched an interactive Testlab, as part of its LabCampus initiative, to raise digital security awareness among passengers and visitors.

The expanded security checkpoints will accommodate more screening lanes, while offering travellers a more relaxing, easier-to-navigate security experience.

Stansted Airport has become the first major airport in the UK to trial the use of compostable security bags, as part of its ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ campaign.

The Transportation Security Administration will lead tours and briefings, and showcase the TSA Innovation Task Force’s latest initiatives. 

Smiths Detection’s Cameron Mann, Global Market Director – Aviation, discusses how Risk Based Screening will take security to the next level.

The 3D equipment is expected to end the need for passengers to remove their liquids and laptops from cabin baggage when passing through security.

A computed tomography (CT) scanner is now available at the airport, providing improved explosives detection capabilities at a TSA checkpoint.

The walk-through scanner uses space technology to image human body heat and has the potential to reduce queues as it screens people on the move.
