Chennai airport installs 2D barcode scanners at terminal entries to enhance security
As per the new system, when an air passenger gets to the entry of a terminal, their ticket containing a barcode will be scanned, and not just examined, by the CISF personnel
A few years ago, a man managed to enter a terminal at the Chennai International Airport with a fake ticket to see off his wife and spend an extra couple of hours with her. On his way out, however, he was caught by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel. In fact, there have been quite a few instances of people attempting to get into the Chennai airport terminals with fake tickets in the past.
To prevent such incidents from happening and to enhance security at the airport, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has introduced 2D barcode scanners.
