This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine discusses the operational protocols of conducting strip searches at airports. The author argues that while these searches are rarely conducted, it is important for security personnel to have a clear understanding of when and how to perform them in a way that respects the passenger’s dignity and privacy. The podcast covers various aspects of strip searches, including justifying the need for a search, communicating with passengers, the protocol for conducting a search, and the importance of thorough documentation and auditing processes. It also discusses the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to traditional security measures, and the need to find innovative solutions to ensure continued security without compromising passenger health.
