New Rules at the International airport
The new passenger pre-boarding screening rules went into force at the Russian airports on October 1, 2004. Security and screening were introduced in the wake of the Tu-134 and Tu-154 deadly bomb attacks.
The new procedure differs from the old one in what is called for an item-by-item inspection of passengers’ belongings. Not only passengers’ luggage but also their footwear, suits, shirts, and even underpants are subject to screening.
Passengers will be checked for possession of prohibited items or substances by airport security staff, just like before. Now security staff has long been using security profiling7, including psychological tests.
They include personal questions, such as:
- What is the purpose of your visit to the country?
- What places are you going to visit there?
- Why are you carrying a particular baggage item?
These tests are not as yet obligatory, but they may become such in the foreseeable future.
Introduction of psychological testing was recommended by a state commission that investigated the causes of the Tu-134 and Tu-154 accidents. Security profiling and psychological tests have been used in Israel and the US for three years now – after September 11, 2002 tragedy.
Exercise 19. Comprehension questions.
1. Why did the new passenger pre-boarding screening rules go into force at the Russian airports?
2. What items can be subject to screening?
3. What does security profiling include?
Exercise 20. Complete the sentences using the text above.
1. Security and screening at the Russian airports were introduced in the wake of _________.
2. Not only passengers’ luggage but also _________ are subject to screening.
3. Passengers will be checked for ___________.
4. Now security staff has long been using ___________.
5. Introduction of psychological testing was recommended by ________.
Exercise 21. Translate the text below into Russian.
People Screening
It is a priority that customers, passengers and employees should feel safe and secure at all times.
With the increase of drugs smuggling, illegal immigrants, radioactive sources, tobacco and alcohol law enforcement agencies including Customs provide the ultimate security checkpoint solution for the ports and borders customers.
With the high risks associated with global cargo transportation, it is vital that smuggling of contraband and severe threats should have the latest security solution to counter possible detrimental effects.
Exercise 22. Review the article below in English in 10-12 sentences. Use the following:
a thorough pre-flight examination; Hi-tech technology; stationary and portable detection device(s); a baggage X-ray scanner; to remove passengers’ belts, shoes and coats; Aviation Security Service; to go through security check; to refuse a ‘pat-down’ check at the security gate; to screen people for traces of explosives or narcotics; to speed up passengers’ check (control); to identify traces of illegal substances in a quick ten second analysis; a search introscope; a gas analyser.
В аэропорту Домодедово в зонах пассажирского контроля осуществляется детальный предполетный досмотр каждого пассажира.
Технология досмотра включает следующие обязательные процедуры:
контроль пассажира при помощи стационарного и переносного металлодетектора;
использование сканера SafeScout 100 (при необходимости производится тактильный досмотр);
досмотр обуви и ручной клади с помощью рентгенотелевизионного интроскопа;
ручной досмотр мелких предметов и личных вещей, переносимых в карманах одежды.
В целях обеспечения эффективного досмотра Службой авиационной безопасности (САБ) используются современные технические средства:
г азоанализаторы8, рентгенографические сканеры, системы миллиметрового сканирования и т.д. На вооружении сотрудников САБ также находятся переносные детекторы взрывчатых и наркотических веществ (VaporTracer, Quantum Sniffer QS-BTS).
В аэропорту Домодедово впервые в России в общую систему безопасности внедрен сканер нового поколения SafeScout 100. Его применение позволяет пассажирам не снимать обувь и ремни при прохождении досмотра, а также исключить процедуру тактильного досмотра. Технология обеспечивает обнаружение скрытых на теле человека предметов из металла, дерева, керамики, пластмассы и других материалов.
Использование сканера ускоряет процесс прохождения пассажирами процедуры досмотра: каждое сканирование занимает примерно две секунды. Весь процесс проверки, включая анализ полученных данных, составляет около десяти секунд.
Exercise 23. Scan Text 5 and pick up the vocabulary items to speak on the use of mobile inspection systems at the Customs.
Text 5
