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.
