Checkpoint Security
Checkpoint screening is required to screen people, bags, cases, parcels, mail and property to ensure that contraband items are not being brought into the establishment. The specification of a suitable checkpoint screening system has to be carefully chosen to ensure rapid detection with ease of use and thorough training.
Security checks have become a part of everyday life, and many new applications outside of the aviation industry have emerged including security checkpoints for prisons, courtrooms, government buildings, large banks, amusement parks and sports venues. Rapiscan Systems provides Metor metal detectors and Rapiscan Baggage and Parcel Inspection and Hold Baggage Screening systems for daily use to address this diverse range of applications.

Port and Border Security
Over the past decade, Rapiscan Systems has developed a wide range of non-intrusive inspection (NII) technologies for cargo and vehicle inspection. Much of the development was initiated by the need for tools to interdict drugs concealed in trucks. Transmission Gamma-ray radiography systems were developed to detect anomalies in lightly loaded trucks and containers. More penetrating medium and higher energy X-ray systems were developed to detect anomalies in the heavier loads. The above systems rely on a human operator to interpret the image produced by the systems to determine if there is a threat material. Neutron inspection systems were developed specifically to automatically detect explosives in vehicles, thereby removing the need for an operator’s intervention.
Gamma-ray or X-ray based radiography can be used to quickly clear both vehicles with uniform cargo and cars with empty trunks. Using the technology to supplement radiography screening, Neutron based systems can be used selectively to assure more complex cargo and suspect car trunks do not contain explosive materials. |

Rapiscan Secure 1000
Heathrow Airport, London
The Rapiscan Secure 1000 has been used to significantly improve checkpoint security at Heathrow Airport; particularly for threats that cannot be identified using currently deployed technologies. Passenger acceptance has been very high (greater than 90%) and perceived problems such as privacy and radiological safety have been less significant than might have been expected. Careful design and planning of the implementation including layout, training and operating procedures has led to wide acceptance, improved security and purchases of the Secure 1000 by the British Airport Authority (BAA).The Rapsican Secure 1000 provides an effective solution for significantly improving the level of security by identifying threats concealed on a passenger’s body.
