Passenger frisking time to be cut by 50 per cent with 131 full body scanners to be installed at airports

To make security checks quicker and error-free at India’s busiest airports, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) is all set to deploy body scanners that will cut down the passenger frisking time by half.

A senior AAI official said, “Presently, it takes around 30 seconds on average to frisk a passenger manually but with the deployment of these millimetre-wave technology-based full-body scanners, the same can be done in 15 seconds.”
