Abstract

The world of the security screening checkpoint has changed dramatically due to the events of 25th December, 2009 when Umar Farouk Mutallab, or infamously known as ‘The Underwear Bomber’, successfully carried explosives stitched in his underwear through the security screening checkpoint (SSCP) undetected. As the deployment and implementation of advanced technologies at airport passenger SSCPs are accelerated to detect these items, what does it mean to the airport operator? Terminal facilities will be affected in a number of ways including spatial impacts, structural impacts and passenger wait times. The airport operator needs to be prepared to handle these concerns before they come to their facility.
