However the system implies the transit of all passengers through the scanner for a period of a few tens of seconds each, which improves security but may have an impact on waiting times for passengers and on issues related to the privacy. The overall objective of ATOM project is to design and develop an innovative detection and surveillance system able to enhance the security level in the airport areas, by detecting hidden hazardous materials/tools (including explosives) and tracking people bringing these materials, without interfering with the normal airport operations; while directly enhancing the airport security, ATOM system will also indirectly contribute to protect aircraft (A/C) from terrorist or other criminal acts (...)
