x-ray machines
full-body scanners

Biometrics is a highly advance system used to identify a passenger by fingerprint, retinal eye scan or face.
ReplyDeleteIt is more secure than passport photo. However, there are concerns about the storing of biometric data and its possible misuse.
Surveillance cameras are the use of video camera to monitor and record the movement in specific place. It can be put on walls .
biometric technology
ReplyDeleteIdentify a person by their eyes, finger print and any other details can be detected
it consider as international, business and personal security.
Face recognition is being used by some authorities to scan crowds to identify suspects whose faces have been logged on a database.
The oldest method of identification is the finger print
Sniffer dogs
Sniffer dogs are specially trained by handlers to detect a kind of drags or explosives by using the sense of smell.
X-ray machine
X-ray is a device used to scan trough the content of a bag.
full-body scanner
full-body scanner is a devise shows the passenger without clothes to shows the hidden objects. It now is being used and developed in many airports
Biometrics is highly advance system identifying of passengers by face, Iris and Fingers.
ReplyDeleteFace recognition is useful to identify suspects.
Iris scanning is fast and accurate; its accuracy can be affected by objects obscuring the eye and may not be suitable for people with cataracts.
A fingerprint is the oldest method of identification.
• Sniffer dogs: These dogs are trained to smell for drug and explosive.
• X-ray machines: that displays the contents of the bag (regarding Carry-on restriction).
• Security patrols: the group that look for suspicious items, behavior and people.
Biometrics is a highly advance system that is use to identify a passenger by fingerprint, retinal scan and face. Eye scan is a fast and accurate way of confirming identifies but might be not good for people who have problems with the eye.
ReplyDeleteSurveillance camera is kind of security at an airport to monitor and record the activity 24 hours 7 days a week.
Luggage x-ray machine that display the contents of the bag and they make sure that all bags have been checked.
Sniffer dogs are part of security and the dog smell for drags and explosive.
*Task 1:-
ReplyDeleteBiometrics technology uses computerized to identify a person by physical methods. Biometrics is more personal than indentifying by passport photos. Building access and laptop uses to identify cards and passports. Biometrics is a high advance system of identifying of passengers by fingerprints, retinal scan which is eyes scan, face, voice and sometimes signature.

*Task 2:-
1- Sniffer dogs:
Dogs are known for a strong sense of smell and police uses sniffer dogs to identify if there is anything like drugs and explosives. Their noses also can be trained to identify explosives in baggage at the airport. Sniffer dogs can also scan for any bomb and drugs or dangerous items in public areas, vehicles, airports and cargo.
2- Security patrols:
Security patrols are group of people who are working at the airport and their work is to monitor and scan for everything around and inside the airport. And to see if there is hazardous things or may also some people who are walking around the airport.
3- Surveillance cameras:
These are cameras which are everywhere inside the airport. It scans and monitor of what is happening inside the airport. And it records everything in each area inside the airport. And it works 24/7 which means it works 24 hours in 7 days. So, there is no time for rest. It’s work all the time.
Task 1
ReplyDeleteBiometrics is highly advance system identifying of passengers by face, Iris and Fingers.
Face recognition is useful to confirn identity.Also it's safer and more secure way to confirm identity and it's to fake, however more complicated way to record and store the information.
Task 2
• Sniffer dogs: These dogs are trained to smell for drug and explosive.
• X-ray machines: that displays the contents of the bag (regarding Carry-on restriction).
• Security patrols: the group that look for suspicious items, behavior and people.
