This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine by Jonathan Joohyung Lee, Deputy Security Director of Incheon International Airport, discusses the new challenges to airport security design in the COVID-19 era. The author argues that airport security measures must now consider both the traditional threats of terrorism and the new threat of disease transmission. He highlights the importance of integrating human factors into airport design, citing the ICAO’s recommendation to consider human factors in the development of new security equipment. He also discusses how international organisations like ICAO, ACI, and IATA are developing new security requirements and guidelines to prevent the transmission of infection during the screening process. The podcast concludes with a call for an international AVSEC design assistance programme to help airports implement COVID-19 measures at security checkpoints, urging a proactive approach to preventing future security challenges rather than simply solving them on a case-by-case basis.
