Session: IATA Day

11:30 - 12:00 - Smart Security: the new benchmark for passenger screening
Synopsis: Smart Security envisions a continuous journey from kerb to airside, where passengers proceed through security with minimal inconvenience, where security resources are allocated based on risk, and where airport facilities can be optimised. Over the past few years, individual components have been tested and evaluated in partnership with governments, airports, airlines and solution providers. Several components are now being brought together into Smart Security pilot projects, which are being showcased at a number of leading airports around the world. The presentation will highlight current projects and seek input from involved airlines and airports on how things are going.
