Download or read book Counter terrorism measures in British airports written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Home Affairs Committee states in a report published today (HCP 311, session 2009-10, ISBN 9780215545060) that the wider introduction of full-body scanners is a welcome development in airport security. It states though that the Government's position of adopting "proportionate" measures is a euphemism for adopting a wholly reactive stance and waiting for terrorists to demonstrate their new capabilities before implementing improved security measures. In view of the ongoing terrorist threat to airline passengers and staff the Committee urge the Government to constantly look for further technological measures to improve airport security. The Committee is satisfied that the privacy concerns that have been expressed in relation to these devices are overstated and that privacy concerns should not prevent the deployment of scanners, but is concerned at the delay in the introduction of other security devices such as hand-held Electronic Trace Detection equipment. The Committee also says that the Government should be wary of relying on one make or model of equipment and where possible conceal the technical specifications of equipment away from the public gaze. Also international standards in aviation security must be made more stringent and more must be done to tackle terrorism at the source. The Committee also raises concerns at the institutional separation of airport security from wider counter-terrorism measures.
