GUWAHATI: On Thursday, August 30, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) informed that body scanners will be made compulsory at all major airports in the country within a year and that it will be made compulsory at all other airports within two years.
A full-body scanner is a device that scans a person’s body for security screening without any physical contact.
It should be mentioned that this development is of utmost importance as the current equipment available to security personnel at airports cannot detect non-metallic explosives. Unlike metal detectors, full-body scanners are able to detect non-metal objects and provide an alternate wavelength image of a person’s body to detect any suspicious items.
