What is Full Body Imaging?
In light of aviation security threats around the world, there is extensive use of advanced technological means for security screening in recent years.
The Full Body Imaging security scanner provides detection of any prohibited items material, with quick and optimum comfort.
The mm-wave security scanner is based on an innovative safe non-ionizing frequency, with a transmission power that is several orders of magnitude lower than those of mobile phones. The security scanner is in full compliance with international safety regulations and, as such, is widely deployed worldwide.
The scanner uses gender-neutral automatic detection software that does not display any images and does not store any personal data.
Optional alternatives to the scan
You can choose to undergo a physical search instead of the full body scan. Naturally, a physical search takes more time and could cause discomfort.
The above does not constitute a recommendation by the Israel Airports Authority to undergo the scan and/or for pregnant women or people with immune deficiencies to undergo it – it is only a description of the Full Body Imaging system, for full disclosure, and to enable travelers to make informed decisions about the scan before undergoing it.
