科技提升机场安检的效能

Technologies Speed Up and Enhance Airport Security Check

为了应对可能出现的对民航安全的种种威胁,全球的机场都在不断地加强安检措施。与此同时,旅客人数的激增给大型机场带来了很大的压力,机场在提高吞吐量的同时必须减少旅客排队等候时间,使离港手续更加顺畅和简便。然而,传统费时的机场安检已经成为离港手续中的一个瓶颈。如何在强化安检的同时突破这个瓶颈?高新科技的运用可能是一个正确的答案。近几年试点使用的机场安检的高新技术包括生物识别技术、高级成像技术和计算机断层扫描技术等。同时,人工智能也已运用到了机场安检设备中。一些科技公司正在研发超级智能人体扫描仪,基于行为的生物识别技术,并可能在未来几年中推广应用。虽然高新技术可以加快和加强安检,但是它们也遭到了公众的质疑和担忧。这些质疑和担忧主要是有关隐私、伦理和网络安全的问题。

Global airport security systems have constantly be enhanced in response to emerging threats.Meanwhile,rising passenger throughput has put pressure on major airports to cut queues and make departure procedures as seamless as possible.However,time-consuming conventional ways of security check are deemed to be the bottlenecks of departure procedures.How to abolish the bottlenecks without compromise of enhanced security?The answer is to harness the power of new technologies,in particular biometric identification technology,advanced imaging technology,and CT technology.Likewise,AI has been applied to the airport security check.Some high-tech vendors are developing and testing new smart security devices and could roll out AI powered body scanners and behavioral biometric technology in the coming years.Although new technologies can really speed up and enhance airport security check,they also generate some public concerns including privacy,ethical and cyber security issues.
