To deter theft, the Department of Transportation should consider requiring airport security personnel to wear body cameras as they give passengers a pat-down or check their luggage. /PDI
The incident was the second theft to be reported in February, the first involving a female security screening officer who was caught on video taking 20,000 yen in cash from a foreigner.
“The DOTr should consider purchasing body cameras for Office of Transportation Security personnel manning the X-ray machines and other airport security checkpoints that put them in close contact with passengers,” Recto said in a statement on Friday.“A body cam protects the checker and the checked,” he said. “This simple device would deter pickpockets in uniform and at the same time ward off rude passengers who harass airport personnel who are just doing their duty.
He also noted that each airline passenger is charged an airport security fee of P60 for international flights and P15 for domestic flights—add-ons already included in the fare charged by airline companies.In 2021, the OTS raised P693 million in collections from airport security and other port usage fees, according to the Batangas congressman.
