India to Deploy Full-Body Scanners at Eight Airports to Enhance Security
India plans to introduce full-body scanners at eight airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Ahmedabad, to enhance aviation security. Trials are underway at Bengaluru and Cochin airports to collect data and refine scanner algorithms tailored to Indian clothing and sensitivities. The scanners will use image-agnostic technology to protect passenger privacy by displaying generic 3D models highlighting only suspicious items. This upgrade follows heightened security concerns after a recent attempted hijacking on a flydubai flight.
