Risk-Based Screening for Airport Security
By Smiths DetectionRisk-based screening (RBS) is becoming increasingly popular in some aviation security sectors.
Growing air passenger traffic and advances in biometrics, artificial intelligence and integrated screening technology are driving innovation.
Unlike typical ‘one-size-fits-all’ screening, RBS varies the process based on risk assessments made by combining a unique identifier such as biometrics or shipping ID with information from other criteria, including destination, region, ticketing, routing data, behaviour, contents, ‘watch lists’ and membership of traveller programmes.
