New Delhi: There’s good news for all those who hate getting frisked at airports. It may be reserved only for fliers who don’t clear suspicion after passing through metal detectors and body scanners, News 18 reported top sources in the Civil Aviation Ministry as saying.
Two to four full-body scanners shall be deployed in airports across the country in a phased manner, following which physical frisking of passengers, airport staff and airline crew will be reserved in rare cases. “Once you are through full body scanners and metal detectors, only some people will be frisked. Right now everyone is frisked. Once these machines are up, we’ll follow the science,” the official was quoted as saying.
“If the person seems suspicious even after going through full body scanners, then they’ll be frisked. And then the frisking will be on the spot and intensive. It won’t be light frisking in that case,” he added.
