Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo NEW DELHI, Jan 19: Facial recognition cameras, full-body scanners, remote viewing of passengers’ luggage and Digi Yatra-based entry are some of the modern technology tools being deployed at Indian airports for safe and secure passenger travel, the CISF said on Monday. The force is also using artificial intelligence (AI) and computer analytics to ease passenger rush and keep an eye on suspects inside the terminals. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Director General (DG) Praveer Ranjan told reporters here during a press conference that while full-body scanners have been deployed at airports like Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Bengaluru and Cochin, “it was just a matter of time” before these are brought into full use to frisk passengers.

Key Highlights

  • Officials said the full-body scanners at these airports are under trial and giving “satisfactory” results, especially against non-metallic threats or devices that can be concealed on the body.
  • These scanners also do not give out specific body contours of a person, but just show a template body structure on the monitor.
  • Therefore, the privacy issue is also addressed, they said.
  • The full-body scanners will be put to use as soon as the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) gives a nod, they added.
  • DG Ranjan, flanked by CISF Additional ADG (Airports) Binita Thakur, said a number of facial recognition system (FRA) cameras are also operational at multiple airports.
