Malaysia will soon be rolling out full body scanners amidst growing passenger numbers. MALAYSIA airports are replacing manual body searches with X-ray machines and scanners. By 2020, visitors Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and low-cost carrier terminal KLIA2 will not be subjected to physical searches by airport security officers. The scanners are one of the many improvements that Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) have been working on to cope with the growing number of tourists. IS IT TIME FOR AIRLINES TO REALLY THINK HARD ABOUT INNOVATION? According to a statement released by MAHB, both airports have welcomed 40 million passengers as of August this year. KLIA2 itself registered 21.3 million passengers, a 7.8 percent increase from the same period last year.
Passenger numbers are expected to continue growing. In the Airports Council International’s report, passenger traffic expansion in the Asia Pacific region is expected to represent almost 53 percent of global growth. MAHB’s Chief Strategy Officer Azli Mohamed told Tech Wire Asia in an exclusive interview that the airport operator has been running several trials since last year, and have narrowed their focus to two technologies. "We are at an advanced stage now," Azli said. KLIA first started trialing thermal scanners in the airport in 2016. According to a report by the New Straits Times, the airport was looking to adopt ThruVis, an imaging technology using terahertz cameras developed by British company Digital Barriers.
The government at the time were concerned about terror threats. Previously, they emphasized that manual pat-downs "will still be used as it is part of the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) standard operating procedure" even when using scanners "to ensure passenger safety". However, Azli clarified that the body scanners that will be rolled out starting early 2019 will be based on the millimeter wave technology, and is separate from the ThruVis trials reported earlier. "We have always been conscious of implementing technology at various security checkpoints to ease the journey of passengers and to help us on an operational standpoint," explained Azli. Malaysia isn’t the only country in Asia adopting x-rays and millimeter wave scanners at the security checkpoints.
Earlier this year, China was reportedly rolling out 3D millimeter wave full-body scanners across airports in the country. Japan similarly has installed millimeter wave full-body scanners in Kansai, Narita, and Haneda airports in preparation for the 2020 Olympics. According to reports from Japanese officials, the scanners proved efficient and did not affect passenger flow rates. Scans were recorded to be performed "in less than 20 seconds per passenger and, in some cases, just 10 seconds". Efforts to speed up processing time isn’t just limited to scanners. Earlier this year, Malaysia has installed self-baggage drop (SBD) facilities at 13 check-in counters, to allow airlines to process more passengers in less time. Since implementation in March, MAHB has recorded an increase in processing speed by two and a half times compared to conventional check-in counters. Malaysia Airports is looking to install an additional 15 units by end of the year.
The Transportation Security Administration will increase the number of 3D X-ray scanners installed at US airports and roll out new technology to automatically scan travelers’ identities as they enter a screening lane. The TSA is currently testing computed tomography or 3D X-rays, which shoot hundreds of images of a bag from different angles, to screen carry-on bags at 13 airports, and expects to buy 200 of the machines within a year. When the program was announced in late July, the agency estimated it would buy 145 of the devices. "I’ve watched them in operation," Pekoske said. "They are a significant enhancement in security effectiveness.
And I’ve also watched passengers actually self-align behind the CT machines because it’s a better passenger experience. CT technology has long been used for medical purposes and it’s also how the TSA screens checked bags that go in aircraft cargo areas. But it hasn’t been until recent improvements in computer power that the technology has been feasible for the screening lanes. While having CT scanners at growing numbers of airport checkpoints offers benefits, the 200 still represents less than 10 percent of the nation’s 2,200 screening lanes. The costs of replacing existing X-ray machines hasn’t been estimated, but it may exceed a billion dollars. The TSA is also planning to buy almost 300 new devices that will automatically read a traveler's drivers license or passport as they enter a screening lane and automatically match those against an airline reservation and screen against watch lists. Pekoske believes this will streamline the process because people won’t have to also show their boarding passes.

Over the last year, the Lancaster County Prison has made several changes to combat drug smuggling. Those include non-contact visitation, sending drug K9s to district judge offices, and requiring greeting cards be sent through a private vendor. Despite all these changes, Warden Cheryl Steberger said the problem persists. "Working daily on that…It’s a struggle, it’s a challenge," said Steberger. Common drugs found include various opioids and recently, meth. The next step: Steberger said they are looking into purchasing an x-ray body scanner for inmates coming through the commitment area, which is where they go when entering and leaving the prison.
Steberger said the commitment area of the prison is where the majority of drugs are found. Robert Wolfe, deputy warden of operations, said the current scanner at the prison can only detect metal. He said an x-ray scanner can spot anything hidden within someone's body, whether that's ceramics or drugs in unsavory places. "They swallow it, we don’t know that they swallowed anything. ] will show us that. ] is not going to find it. Steberger said she wants the [https://www.wittsec.com/ X-ray screening equipment and inspection equipment] scanner for more than the obvious reason of spotting drugs coming in. She said they hope it can be a deterrent against someone planning on bringing drugs with them, in the first place. "Whatever the latest technology is, whatever’s out there.

MRT commuters face the prospect of airport-like security checks, with some train stations to install X-ray scanners and metal detectors in a six-month trial. In a statement yesterday, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said the scanners will be installed "at selected stations across all rail lines". The trial starts next Monday. It added that screening equipment may be deployed at up to six MRT stations at any one time. If it makes Singapore a safer place, I'm cool with it. But it must not be too much of an inconvenience. LTA had previously tried out these security measures, but on a smaller scale. In February, commuters had to go through X-ray machines and metal detectors at the Downtown Line's Newton station. The Straits Times reported that it added around eight minutes to the time it took to walk from the North-South Line to the Downtown Line at the station.
