The next step

摘要

How do you think passenger journeys and the airport security process will be impacted/changed by COVID-19? I believe COVID-19 will leave an indelible mark on our way of life, human interaction and the way we travel, both now and in the future, changing airport journeys and security checkpoints. We are already seeing a call for more contactless technology at airports, and I expect security checkpoints will have to be redesigned to avoid crowding and limit or reduce the need for pat-down searches. As a result, advanced screening technologies which ensure a minimum need for a secondary search, like stand-off Terahertz screening systems, automated tray return systems and remote screening could be on the rise.
