1. Low X-ray Dose -: The radiation should not exceed 0.1mR/h.
2. Lead Curtains -: Located at the entry and exit of the inspection tunnel to prevent scattered
X-rays from escaping.
3. Lead Shielding -: Prevents the emission of the scattering of X-rays independent of coving panel.
4. Interlocks-: When an attempt is made to generate X-rays with a critical panel missing,
interlocks will sense and prevent the generation of X-rays.

Q10. Define Image Interpretation? What are the three categories of bag we encounter during of the hold
baggage? What do they signify?
Image interpretation is a process in which the image of a bag is identified, evaluated and categorize
them into three categories: Safe, Doubtful and Threat bag.
8
 1. Safe bag signifies that the bag does not contain any Prohibited item.
2. Doubtful/ Suspicious bag signifies that the image of the bag is not clear.
3. Threat/Unsafe bag means that the bag contains Prohibited/threat item.

Q18. What is CTP? Why is it used? Write down the tests of CTP?

CTP stands for combined test piece. It is a combination of six test pieces which are incorporated in a
briefcase. It is provided by the manufacturer of the X-BIS. It is usedto check the performance of X-BIS as
per the specifications laid down by BCAS.

CTP का मतलब है कंबाइंड टे ट पीसA येह छह टे टटो का समू ह है िजसे एक ीफ़ केस म रखा गया हैA इसे
नमाता वारा दान कया जाता हैA इसका इ तेमाल X -BIS क कया मता को जांचने के लए कया जाता हैA

Combined Test Piece (CTP) Tests

1. Single wire resolution test: A set of un-insulated copper wires of different thickness(26 SWG, 30 SWG,
35 SWG, 38 SWG, 40 SWG and 42 SWG)are placed on the Perspex sheet in ‘S’ shaped curves.
The requirement of the test: Un-insulated copper wire of thickness 40 SWG should be seen on Perspex
sheet.
Objectivity is to detect connectivity.

2. Useful Penetration test: Three step wedges of Aluminium are placed over Perspex sheet.The thickness of
the Aluminium step wedges are 3/16”, 5/16” and 7/16”. This test defines what level of details can be seen
behind a thickness of known material (Aluminium).
The requirement of the test: 26 SWG should be seen under the second step wedge of Aluminium.
Objective is to detect hidden connectivity

3. Material Discrimination test Sugar and Salt are separately kept in a transparent container. The X-ray
should be able to distinguish between materials ofdifferent atomic number.
The requirement of the test: The sugar should be seen in orange colour and salt should be seen in green.
Objective is to ensure that the XBIS distinguishes between organic and in-organic materials even if the
object / items are similar in colour and the atomic numbers are close.OR To ensure X-BIS is able to
discriminate materials as per their atomic numbers.

4. Simple penetration test: CTP has Steel step wedges of thickness varying from 16mm to 30 mm. The
thickness of step wedges varies with 2mm. Over the steel plate, a lead strip is placed. This test defines
what thickness of steel the machine should be able to penetrate.
The requirement of the test: Lead strip should be visible beneath 26 mm steel plate.
The objective is to check the penetration level of X-BIS on Steel Step wedge.

5. Spatial resolution test: The CTP has 08 horizontal and 08 vertical gratings at right angles to each other.
The test defines the ability of the system to distinguish and display objects, which are close together.
The requirement of the test: The vertical and horizontal gratings should be seen.

12
 The objective is to identify two objects kept close together. OR To ensure that X-BIS is able to distinguish
objects that are kept close together.

6. Thin Metal Imaging 21 Steel step wedges are provided in the CTP, the size of each should be
(Grey scale test) 3 cm (Length) X 1 cm (Width). The thickness of the second plate is 0.1 mm and the last
plate is 9mm.
The requirement of the testis to display steel plate of thickness 0.1 mm.
The objective is to check the penetration level of X-ray on a thinnest part of object or material.

Q29. Explain the inline baggage screening system? Write two advantages and two disadvantages?

Inline baggage screening system is available at some of the airports for the screening of Registered
baggage operated by the airport operator.

a. The system has 4-Levels of screening.

b. There is a CTX or EDTS installed at the first level which automatically screens the baggage.
c. The screener has no intervention at the first level other than switching on the system.
d. The level-2 remote workstation receives the image of the bag from the first level, where the screener
has only 15-20 seconds to analyse the image.
e. At every level the cleared baggage goes straight to the BMA and the uncleared baggage goes to the next
level.
f. At level-3 all the bags will be checked by an advanced stand alone X-BIS. A latest ETD is also available to
further check the bags.
g. The level-4 remote workstation receives the image of the bag from the third level, where the screener
has more time to analyse the image
h. All the uncleared bags at level-4 are united with their owners for further inspection and interview. This
process is normally done manually in the presence of the Pax, airlines, airport operator and the ASG.

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Less manpower is required Consumes a lot of space
More use of technology Very costly
Much reliable screening Trained operator is required
It removes the congestion in the Sabotage can be easily done through hold baggage
departure area
Convienient to pax Pax is not readily available for any queries.

Q6. What is the role of a detonator in an IED?

A detonator is a device used to trigger an explosive device.Detonator produces detonating waves

which are used to initiate the high explosive. The detonator will have some primary explosive and some
secondary explosive in it. When the shell is supposed to explode, the primary explosive is detonated by
a flame or spark, electrical current, or mechanical shock. This causes the secondary explosive in the
initiator to detonate. The detonation of the initiator detonates the main explosive of the IED.

• OTP is an aluminum block of dimension 10 cm x 10 cm and weighing 30 gms.It is used to check the
efficiency of DFMD as per the BCAS specifications.

Checking DFMD with OTP:

1. Before conducting OTP test ensure there should not be any metallic object on the body.
2. Place OTP in different parts of the body so that each time, it falls in different zones of the DFMD.
3. When all the eight zones are covered, place OTP in the front of the body and next in the back portion of
the body and pass through the DFMD.
4. Out of ten times at least eight times the DFMD should give a correct alarm.

CHAPTER-9 cargo
Q1. Why cargo is considered vulnerable?

Very bulky hence difficult to screen

 Cargo system is well known
 Specific flight can be targeted
 Small amount of Explosive can be concealed easily which is sufficient for sabotage.
