Thruvision's US Aviation
Worker Security Screening System completes Safe Skies' operational
test and evaluation
Thruvision, the leading
international provider of walk-through
security technology, has announced that its WalkTHRU system has
completed operational test and evaluation by National Safe Skies
Alliance, Inc. (Safe Skies) at San Diego International
Airport.
Colin Evans, Chief Executive,
commented:
"The completion of testing by the National Safe Skies Alliance
is a further important validation of our WalkTHRU security
screening technology.
"Our technology is ideally placed to help US airports meet
TSA's Aviation Worker Screening National Amendment. It is mobile,
allowing rapid redeployment, and can be used either as a standalone
security capability, or to supplement existing equipment that
airports may already be using."
Safe Skies' Airport Security System
Integrated Support Testing (ASSIST) Program is a collaborative
effort between US commercial-service airports, the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), Airports Council International-North America, American
Association of Airport Executives and Airport Consultants
Council.
Safe Skies created the ASSIST
Program to fulfill its core purpose of helping airport operators
meet their security responsibilities using a transparent process
for identifying, selecting and executing projects that are designed
to create a more efficient and effective airport security
system.
