` Technology is a necessary tool in the field of airport security. The advances of airportsecurity technology enhance the overall security process, not only as a deterrent, butalso to provide a greater range of observation and detection. Key to success is inintroducing a scalable solution that is capable of managing all aspects of the securitysolution centrally. Complex and outdated security plans combined with legacytechnology may be contributing to inefficiencies in airport security and operations,

leading to time delays congestion and ultimately sharp declines in passenger volume.While the list of systems that contribute to airport security is endless, some of thecommon systems include; baggage screening and handling ( e.g., RFID, EDS )access control, intrusion and perimeter detection, security intelligence, metal detectorsand video surveillance. Video surveillance is an important component to any airportsecurity plan. Incorporating video analytics has the capacity of identifying unattendedbaggage, abnormal behavioural patterns, including erratic vehicle and passenger flow.Together they enhance to security solutions, especially if that have a significant numberof video streams to monitor.

That is why the target is forat least 95% of passengers to queue for ten minutes or less atsecurity search area. Regularly review and initiate surveys andresearch can improve to understanding of passengerexpectations and views. With this information can develop andinvest in the right services, products and facilities at the KLIA.Feedback from passengers on this performance is hugelyimportant to the management.
