Synopsis: Smart Security, a joint initiative of IATA and ACI, envisions a future where passengers proceed through security checkpoints with minimal inconvenience, where security resources are allocated based on risk, and where airport facilities can be optimised. The first wave of Smart Security solutions have been tried and tested, and are now ready for wider implementation. With the Smart Security Opportunity Assessment, IATA and ACI can assist airports to identify solutions that are most suitable to their unique regulatory, business and operational requirements. In the meantime, research, testing and evaluation of a second wave of Smart Security solutions is under way.
