High-tech scanners at Indian airports to combat threat of human bombs

New Delhi: In an ambitious move that could change the way airport security in India works, the Cabinet Committee on Security will soon discuss a proposal to acquire sophisticated state-of-the-art equipment for scanning and checking both passengers and baggage at all leading airports.
Highly-placed Government sources said the equipment, in particular will, be highly useful in detecting 'human bombs' where explosive devices are surgically implanted in
a human body.
The move, sources added, has been necessitated in wake of a recent alert issued by the Intelligence Bureau through the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security that Indian airports could be targeted by human bombs where sophisticated surgical procedures plants explosives inside the human body - just beneath the skin.
