Body Scanner Research

« Christmas 2009 when the Nigerian Abdul Mudallad avoided security men vigilance and failed to blow up a bomb during the flight from Amsterdam (Holland) to Detroit (US).

In the wake the attempt, many governments over the w orld have decided to introduce a new technology device in the airports in order to strengthen the available measures.

This technology device, called Body Scanners, like its name depicts - is a device built to facilitate a strict and reliable search of hazar dous materials that passengers may have hidden by using scanner.

With this X -Ray search tool, people will be able to narrow possibilities of terrorist attacks furthermore; this technology can be effective in preventing new attacks.

The issues of air travelers security is the main focus point of aviation’s experts since the aeronautical industry was created.

Following the terrorist events around the world, the will of trying as much as possible to prevent such attacks on Air Transportation has led to a Technology called Body Scanners which actually existed in places like jail.

Indeed this new search tool comes at the airports to enforce other security measures that existed before.

The new airport Body Scanners are the most important and sophisticated material in the fight against terrorism.

Sciences and particularly new technology are the only way by which people can understand the surrounding world, predict or even know the future and also protect human being.

In other words, people today mostly believe some thing, except for the holy scripts, only when scientific proofs are provided.

Therefore, why people are still skeptic all about the body scanners, whereas they are supposed to trust sciences? Indeed, people should rely on the body scanning technology in pr eventing.

Besides, there are two methods of body scanning that need to be considered.

One method is the Millimeter Wave Scanning, which is the most p rominent used in airport. \ It consists of using high radio frequencies also known as millimeter wave transmitted by rotating two antennas around a passenger’s body, this rotation creates a 3- D image which is displayed on a s creen.

All organic materials such as clothing become translucent which allow security staff to analyze a subject’s body for potential threats.

The other method is Backscatter X -ray mainly used in transportation around the world.

Here, X -rays radiations are emitted through a passenger’s body or through materials, and they are reflected back from the target and constructed into image appearing on a screen for security analysis.

The benefit of this method is that we don’t necessary need a three- dimensional image, we can scan one side and after the. »
