Trial Of Full-Body Scanner Begins At Terminal 2 Of Indira Gandhi International Airport
New Delhi: The trials of the full-body scanner at Terminal 2 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport has been started by the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) on Tuesday. According to airport authority, it is a Millimeter-Wave based scanner that was found to be accurate and has medical approvals regarding health risks, and completely answers privacy issues adding that this is in line with the directive of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
A full-body scanner is a device that detects objects without making physical contact or breaching the privacy of passengers. Unlike metal detectors, full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects which are hard to detect with the conventional door frame metal detector (DFMD).
DIAL has installed a full-body scanner at the security check area for trials. The trials would be conducted on a real-time basis, i.e., passengers would have to pass through it during their security check before moving to the security hold area.
