Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Licence: All rights reserved.This white paper examines the regulatory and ethical implications of using imaging systems that emit ionising radiation in border-control settings. It assesses justification requirements, operational risks and the balance between detection capability and the protection of travellers’ health. The document concludes with policy suggestions and key findings on how such technologies should be evaluated before deployment.
