THE USE OF DEVICES OF PREFLIGHT SCREENING
Abstract
The risk of illegal interference acts in the airports and on board of aircrafts with the use of dangerous objects and self-made explosive devices, hidden in the clothes and in the shoes of passengers, is still high.
The measures on neutralization of such risks depend on the level of terrorist threats in a given country. In order to respond to terrorist alert it is necessary to use the integrated approach so that any separate kind of preflight screening has its own function within the framework of security measures. To simplify the process of shoes control there are some special radio-metal devices (Magshoe of Israel, Shoe Analyzer Metal Detector of Italy, some Russian devices).
The deployment of the radio-metal locators needs financial resources. But the costs should be reasonable and substantiated economically. But at the same time the process of screening should respond, as far as it’s possible, to customers’ interests. The example of relevant economic substantiation is described for a device installed at the airport of 20 mln passengers / year and a breakeven point in two years from installation is proved.
