Provide airport security without delay.

Check-in and revenue problems at US airports will increase, warns a leading baggage security provider, unless explosives detection equipment is integrated into automated baggage handling systems.

He added that while travellers remain sympathetic to delays at check-in, their patience must surely fade. New security measures are likely to be reducing both customer satisfaction and airport revenues, as longer queues are leaving people with less time to spend their money in shops and on concessions. Mandatory concourse screening is likely to make matters worse.
