Aeroporti di Roma successfully testes a concealed object detection system

Pickel Security, a global security systems integration firm, announced that it has installed and successfully tested Brijot Imaging System¡¯s GEN 2 advanced passive millimeter wave concealed object detection and people screening system for security screening of departing passengers at Ciampino ¡°Giovan Battista Pastine¡° Airport, Rome¡¯s second largest airport and Italy¡¯s fifth largest airport with 5.5 million passengers per year.

The GEN 2 system, which can detect concealed items such as liquids, gels, plastic explosives, as well as narcotics and currency, was deployed at Ciampino¡¯s Aviazione Generale (General Aviation Building) for a seven-day trial.  Security officials with Aeroporti di Roma, which operates the two Rome international airports, Ciampino and Fiumicino ¡°Leonardo da Vinci¡° Intercontinental Airport, selected the Brijot system because of its unique ability to detect  materials that are not visible with most existing systems, such as metal detectors and X-ray machines.
Aeroporti di Roma security personnel were impressed with the ability of Brijot¡¯s GEN 2 system to detect potential threats to departing flights.
Airport officials also found the GEN 2©ös use of passive millimeter wave energy able to satisfy their concerns about privacy, safety and passenger throughput.  The full-motion radiometric scanner, which doesn¡¯t impact the health of airport employees or the health and privacy of passengers, can distinguish between the natural energy emitted by the human body and that of concealed objects without detailing any of the body parts of the person being screened.
¡°As a worldwide security adviser for many high-threat environments, Pickel Security recognizes the need for new technology to prevent the smuggling of dangerous weapons and materials onto planes,¡° said Boaz Harpaz, chief executive officer of Pickel Security Ltd.  ¡°Many airports are still working with dated technology because they are afraid to increase the time at security checkpoints. Brijot¡¯s GEN 2 system provides the answer to this problem by moving individuals quickly and easily through checkpoints while providing an added level of detection.  Brijot¡¯s system is the answer to today¡¯s security issues, just as the metal detector was some 30 years ago.¡°
¡°We were pleased to showcase the speed and accuracy of Brijot¡¯s passive millimeter wave concealed object detection and screening system for the officials at Ciampino Airport,¡° said Gary Tryon, Brijot¡¯s sales manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.  ¡°Brijot¡¯s technology is designed to increase security, while making life easier for both the security personnel at the checkpoint and the passenger.¡°
The Brijot¢ç GEN 2 system may be used alone or as part of a comprehensive, multi-layered security solution. Its proven reliability stands ready to uncover items other technologies such as metal detectors or added security staff are not technically equipped to identify, including explosive materials, liquid, gels, Class A narcotics and stacks of currency.  By imaging subjects in real time the system can be used to direct subjects into secondary screening areas for further investigation, focusing security efforts and eliminating profiling or ineffective random screening.
