New Technologies Show Promise for Port and Airport Security, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

U.S. transportation hubs continue in their efforts to keep passengers and freight safe and security costs under control.  To achieve this, airports, railway stations and ports are developing new technologies and strategies.  However, there are problems with disgruntled airport passengers complaining of long lines; the inconvenience of removing clothing such as jackets, belts and shoes; the frequency of selection for more thorough searches using metal detecting wands and pat downs, and more recent concerns about radiation exposure and privacy when using full body scans.
Several detection systems are already widely used at airports.  Standard metal scanners are still the norm in most airports around the world.  The Sentinel II, made by British security firm Smiths Detection which uses puffs of air to scan for explosives, proved too costly and too prone to breakdowns and has been removed from U.S. airports.
