Abstract

The introduction of new, advanced security technologies into the airport market has led to greater confusion, expense and complexity in the delivery of a safer, more secure environment for passengers and stakeholders. Many new technologies and capabilities have been introduced and sold, largely on the appeal of being high-tech and cutting edge, while the true costs, challenges, practicalities and difficulties in implementation and delivery are obscured or omitted. This is further complicated by a reduction in professional, expert support, oversimplified procurement practices, and an emphasis on staying current or even cutting edge. Airport operators and security professionals can avoid costly disappointments by better understanding the true capabilities of many of these technologies, and taking a step back to look at the broader picture, from operational concepts to the actual delivery of the security service and systems.
