Over recent years, people have found increasingly creative ways of infiltrating threatening items on board aircraft. Weapons, household products with minimal metal content, non-metallic items and explosives have all been carried on the body and used either to attempt a hijack or an act of sabotage.
The current reliance on metal detection technology and the likely delay in the mass deployment of advanced passenger screening technologies, such as passenger X-ray, millimetre wave imaging and portable explosive detectors, means that it remains the responsibility of the screeners to identify potentially threatening passengers. Unfortunately, when fears are aroused, the traditional ‘pat down' search may not suffice. It was with this in mind that PS5 and Green Light decided to collaborate in the production of ‘Body Concealment and Search'.
This DVD presentation will augment existing initiatives in the training of security personnel, and help demonstrate the relative ease with which a determined individual can secrete something on their person.
Some methodologies for the conducting of a body search are also described, yet recognising that each authority may have its own philosophy regarding this subject, the DVD keeps to general principals of search only.
Given that behavioural analysis is of critical importance to the passenger screening process, the DVD also includes a section on recognition of behavioural indicators of stress and anxiety.
Although this DVD was primarily produced for the aviation security market, its contents are equally applicable to any search environment.
