What security measures are in place to prevent baggage tampering?

CCTV surveillance and security personnel monitoring are critical security measures designed to prevent baggage tampering at airports. The presence of CCTV allows for continuous observation of baggage handling areas, ensuring that any suspicious activity can be recorded and addressed promptly. Security personnel, trained to identify potential threats, provide an additional layer of oversight, actively monitoring for tampering or unauthorized access to baggage.

Together, these measures create a deterrent against tampering attempts by increasing the likelihood that suspicious actions will be caught on camera or noticed by trained staff. Moreover, well-placed cameras can encompass various angles and areas of high-risk zones, thus protecting baggage from potential threats throughout the process of handling, storage, and delivery.

While random baggage inspections, frequent passenger checks, and metal detectors contribute to overall airport security, they are not as directly effective in surveillance and real-time monitoring of baggage tampering specifically as CCTV and security personnel.
