Chennai: Passengers travelling from the international terminal of the city airport will have to scan their luggage before checking in, as work on installing a new inline baggage scanning machine is all set to begin. Airports Authority of India (AAI) has installed five standalone baggage scanners at the terminal for passengers to scan the bags until the work to install the new four-level inline baggage scanner is completed. The work is expected to take three months.
The new inline scanners with CT X-Ray and CT scan system, which can detect explosives, have been procured as per the new security regulations introduced by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
An official said the machine, which is better than the old one, will provide a good resolution picture of the bags and will automatically divert bags with suspicious content to a manual checking area.
“The machine will do four levels of checks. The first two levels are automatic and do not require human intervention. In the third level, the machine will divert bags with suspicious content for security personnel to screen and those which need to be opened will be sent to the fourth level where the passenger is summoned,” he added.
The modification to the inline baggage scanner is part of the move to have new machines at international and domestic terminals. The machines and conveyors for both the terminals have arrived.
