DELHI
In order to enhance passenger comfort, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has decided to cut security checks and frisking time at the airports to almost half of the present time taken.
The force has prepared a four-point new standard operating procedure for its security personnel who are deployed at the country’s 59 civil airports to frisk and identify genuine travelling passengers and scan suspect baggage.
“We have decided to cut the security check time for air fliers at airports by half. At present, our officials take 7-8 minutes to complete the frisking and identification of passengers but now we plan to cut it down by half to about 4 minutes,” Chief of CISF airport security unit O P Singh told PTI.
