airport screening

Airport screening is a security process designed to ensure the safety of all travelers by detecting potential threats. It involves checking passengers and their belongings through procedures like metal detectors, body scanners, and baggage x-rays to identify prohibited items. Security personnel may also conduct pat-downs or interviews as needed. The goal is to prevent anything dangerous from being carried onto airplanes while maintaining a smooth travel experience. These measures are based on security protocols and threat assessments to protect passengers, crew, and aircraft during air travel.
