Delhi airport starts conducting trials of full-body scanner at Terminal 2

The Delhi airport started conducting trials of a full-body scanner, which detects objects on passengers without any pat-down search, at its Terminal 2 on Tuesday.

“Full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects, which are hard to detect with the conventional door frame metal detector, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said in a statement.

DIAL has installed a full-body scanner at the security check area for trials, it said.

The trials would be conducted on a real-time basis i.e. passengers would have to pass through it during their security check before moving to the security hold area,” the statement said.
