Day 2 - 11 March
Session: Aviation Security, Border Control & Facilitation

09:35 - 10:05 - Tackling the security challenges of the modern-day hub. Thinking ahead!
Synopsis: In today's airports, the basic design and rationale of the passenger screening checkpoint is by and large influenced by concepts going back to the '60s and '70s. However, there has been a dramatic shift in passengers' and airlines' needs since then. Airports have been unsparing in their efforts, struggling to maintain security operations at the highest level while at the same time striving to address their clients' needs as well as adapting their resources and know-how to an evolving threat environment. Is it not time for us to rethink the process? If so, what should be its main components?

Audience will learn:

• Why the security checkpoint has reached its limits
• The goals we want to achieve with the new SCP
• What should be the very core of the new system
