Mumbai: The national airports operator Airports Authority of India (AAI) will soon install millimeter-wave technology-based full-body scanners at two non-metro airports on a trial basis, sources have said.
So far, none of the 125 AAI-run and five privately-operated airports have such a crucial security equipment.
"We have received two full-body scanners from GE Corp of the US, which we are going to install at two airports on a trial basis," AAI sources told PTI.
These scanners, which work on millimeter-wave technology, do not compromise with the privacy of a passenger, the sources said, adding, "We want to gauge the acceptability level of passengers before installing them across all airports."
The sources, however, did not name the airports where these machines are being deployed or a timeline for the installation citing security reasons.
