LONDON, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The September 11 attacks corroborated the need for a major overhaul of the airport security system and its value chain. Critical infrastructures continue to be prime targets for terrorist threats and airports remain among the most vulnerable to attack. Airport security companies must remain on the lookout for new technologies that can catalyze growth while resolving crucial challenges, like mandatory airport regulations and passenger safety. With the global economy teetering on the brink of recovery and the construction of new airports expected to resume soon, the passenger screening market has never been so business critical as it is today.

The Aerospace & Defence Group at Frost & Sullivan (http://www.aerospace.frost.com) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on Thursday, 25 March, 2010 at 3:00 pm GMT to focus on evolving concepts in air passenger screening.

Highlights of the briefing include a snap shot of key trends in the airport security industry, an evaluation of the market for related and enabling technologies and an in-depth analysis of the key growth factors and challenges likely to impact future market performance.

This briefing will benefit airport and civil aviation authorities, airport security equipment manufacturers, and system integrators and distributors.

To the extent that the transportation industry is affected by globalisation, airports are its weakest links insofar as vulnerability to terrorist attacks is concerned. "Screening solutions that reconcile stringent security measures with customer satisfaction are critical to airport safety," says Sasidharan Chandran, Research Analyst from Frost & Sullivan's Aerospace & Defence Group. "Suppliers face numerous challenges in terms of educating and training airport authorities on screening technologies, integrating the equipment with external systems and implementing crisis management and response strategies," Chandran adds.
