The Threat
The detection of threat items in baggage using Xray
is not as easy as many people may assume. On the contrary,
it’s an extremely challenging task and one of the most demanding
roles in the aviation security system. Xray screening of baggage
is one of the most important and familiar front-line security measures
used to help prevent the infiltration of weapons and explosive devices
on board aircraft. Therefore, it is vital that the training of screening
personnel is of the highest possible quality as it has a direct correlation
on the competency and effectiveness of the security screening performed.
The Course
TREFOX combines narrated video, animated demonstrations and an interactive
Xray simulation to show how an Xray machine works. The programme covers basic

with no previous experience of working within an Xray screening scenario.

security screeners who wish to better understand Xray technology, and
managers in any airline/airport function who wish to broaden their
understanding of aviation security operations.
