Cabin Baggage Screening:


best practices and effective technologies


In spite of virtually every terrorist attack against civil aviation since Pan Am 103 – the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 - being initiated via the checkpoint, the world’s authorities and airports have focused the vast majority of their financial and technical resources on checked baggage screening enhancements. Advances in explosive detection technology and the use of alternatives to standard X-ray, such as computed tomography and even Advanced Technology (AT) X-ray have only recently been applied to the far more difficult challenge of cabin bag screening. Steve Wolff looks at the challenges surrounding the screening of cabin baggage, regulatory issues and technologies as well as processes being implemented today and what approaches, might, in the future, be applied to better protect against the loopholes that exist in the screening of carry-on bags at the checkpoint
