Handbook of Checked Baggage Screening

Handbook of Checked Baggage Screening - Advanced Airport
Security Operation is a practical guide for project managers
and designers embarking on hold-baggage screening developments
within the airport environment for the first time. The book clearly
explains away any uncertainty about the processes and
procedures to be used by the various parties involved within the
industry and sets out 'best practice' with respect to
checked baggage screening design. Valuable lessons can be learned
from actual case studies contributed by leading equipment
manufacturers on recent 100% hold baggage screening projects.

In addition to the all-important security screening of baggage
and passengers the book also looks at the following areas
associated with airport security, through the use of a detailed
structured security check-list evaluation questionnaire. The
questionnaire allows airports to assess the state of readiness of
their airports and then, using the other chapters, gain an insight
regarding which technology will best solve any security gaps.

The authors offer a unique perspective through their background
and experience. Many of the checked baggage screening procedures
and equipment discussed in the book have already been implemented
in the UK, with the authors responsible for leading this effort.
The combined experience they can offer to the industry world wide
is invaluable.
