Passengers travelling from Gladstone airport over the Christmas holidays will walk through a new body scanner installed as part of the Strengthening Aviation Security Initiative.
Gladstone Airport Corporation GAC said the full body scanner replaces the previous walk through metal detector, aligning national security screening standards with those of airports around the world.
“Body scanners provide an additional layer of security detection with the equipment capable of detecting nonmetallic prohibited items worn or carried on one’s body,” GAC said in a statement.
“The scanners use non-ionising millimetre wave technology which emit low power levels and meets the health regulations in relation to licencing compliance.
