Security systems used at airports (Homeland Security Research Corp, 2015)

Passenger informationIt includes databases such as safety databases, driver databases, and the IRS.
X-ray systemsIt can detect the densities and atomic structure of objects. This device consists of a unit, display, and control panel.
Explosive monitoring detectorsIt is an improved version of X-ray devices, offering a three-dimensional image.
Luggage-controlled EDSDetection of explosives in luggage.
Airport perimeter security walls and fencesRestricts access from the periphery into the building area.
Smart video systemsIncludes camera systems.
BlacklistsDatabases containing information on suspicious persons.
Biometric systemsDetects the faces of people entering a building.
DetectorsThese devices, which are generally used in the entrance-exit areas of facilities, detect metal objects on people.
Body scanning systemIt can detect dangerous elements in the human body.
Trace and odor detection devicesThey detect the possible presence of chemical substances in cargo and baggage. They are only used in suspicious cases.
RobotsThey provide data to security stations through face detection software.
