Day 3 - 27 March
Session: Aviation Security, Border Control & Facilitation

12:25 - 12:50 - LAG screening in a decentralised passenger security process at Schiphol
Synopsis: In 2006 the ban on taking liquids, aerosols and gels was introduced as a result of a foiled terrorist attack. Since that time lifting this ban has been discussed by governments worldwide. The European Commission decided in 2012 that equipment was ready and reliable for a phased lift of this ban on LAGs. The first step became effective on 31 January 2014 and concerns the random screening of medicines, dietary and baby food (MDB) and (transfer) LAGs in a secured tamper evidence bag (STEB). With its decentralised (gate) passenger security process, Schiphol has an exceptional position as a transfer airport in Europe. After the implementation of the One-XS project at Schiphol in mid-2015, all passengers’ security will be centralised, including the LAG screening. Until that moment Schiphol has to facilitate an exceptional LAG screening process within the non-European departure lounges. The process of design and implementation of this first-stage LAG screening on 31 January is what our presentation is all about.
