AUTOMATED BORDER CONTROL SYSTEMS VS. (AVIATION) TERRORISM
AUTOMATED BORDER CONTROL SYSTEMS VS. (AVIATION) TERRORISM

Summary/Abstract: One of the most important issues today is security, which plays an increased role in aviation, given its vulnerability and direct psychological effect on people. Dangerous elements need to be detected before boarding, as their neutralisation afterwards is almost impossible. One of the possibilities is to apply biometric identification at airports, but this is not yet fully possible due to the technology not being widespread yet. In this article, I examine the applications, the prevalence, and the additional potential of airport biometric identification, and explore the limitations that must be faced. In my opinion, biometric authentication is certainly going to contribute to future air travel security while also speed up check-in, but we also have to keep the logic and facts of the technology in mind.
