passenger screening

Passenger screening is a security process at airports designed to ensure travelers and their belongings do not pose a threat. It involves checking IDs and boarding passes, and using equipment like metal detectors, X-ray machines, and scanners to inspect carry-on bags and personal items. Sometimes, additional screening or interviews are conducted if necessary. The goal is to quickly verify identity, detect prohibited items such as weapons or dangerous substances, and maintain a safe environment for all passengers and staff. This process is a standard part of air travel aimed at preventing security threats while facilitating efficient transportation.
