Question map
In-line baggage is screened in maximum
Explanation
In India, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) mandates a five-stage (or five-level) In-line Baggage Screening (ILBS) system to ensure aviation security. The multi-tier process is designed as follows:
- Level 1: Automated screening of all baggage by Explosive Detection System (EDS) machines.
- Level 2: Remote screening where an operator reviews images of bags flagged at Level 1.
- Level 3: A secondary review by a supervisor or senior screener if the Level 2 operator cannot clear the bag.
- Level 4: Physical inspection of the baggage or the use of Explosive Trace Detectors (ETD) in the presence of the passenger.
- Level 5: If the threat remains unresolved, the baggage is handled by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) or moved to a cooling pit.
This system ensures that suspicious items are identified and neutralized through progressive layers of technology and human intervention.
