New Delhi sources have stated that after doing away with hand baggage tags at over a dozen airports, aviation security agencies are now planning to dump the boarding pass collection system and begin a regime of 'express check-in' aided by biometrics for smooth air travel.
Meanwhile the chief of the country's airport security force, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), told in an interview that they have begun "exploring" the technology that is required to usher in the boarding card-less system of air travel at the 59 airports that it guards at present and at the rest of such civil facilities that are going to come under its umbrella as part of a "unified command" in the future.
CISF Director General (DG) OP Singh told the news
agency that they are working on two projects. The first is how to introduce
integrated security solutions at airports. You need to connect all dots that
exist within the security establishment. You have so many strategies to do it
you have the biometrics, video analytics and a very robust access control
system. He said "We will try to interconnect all these things in a very integrated
fashion".
