New Delhi: In order to enhance passenger comfort, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has decided to cut security checks and frisking time at the airports by almost half.
The force has prepared a four-point, new standard operating procedure for its security personnel who are deployed at the country's 59 civil airports, to identify genuine travelling passengers and scan their baggage.
"We have decided to cut the security check time for air fliers at the airports by half. At present, our officials take 7-8 minutes to complete the frisking and identification of passengers but now we plan to cut it down by half which is about 4 minutes," Chief of CISF airport security unit O P Singh told PTI.
Mr Singh said new modules and Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs) have been developed to enable the CISF security men to achieve this target.
"We have initiated a new profiling mechanism by which the security person will intelligently identify between a genuine, a fake or suspicious passenger. Once that is done, the security personnel will being trained to quickly go through three details in the air ticket which is checking the correct flight number, date, time and the valid Identity-card of the passenger," Additional Director General (CISF) Mr Singh said.
