ANTI-PENETRATION WRAPPING MATERIAL
In most today’s airports a serious security problem is found. Usually the security procedures require the passenger and his luggage to pass through several stages of security checks. First the luggage going into the baggage compartment is checked, and then the passenger proceeds to the check in. After that, the passenger’s hand bags, and personal belongings are checked in an introscope, then the person follows into the waiting area, and can get onto the plane.
There are several problems present in this procedure line. First, the passenger himself is not checked when he enters the airport building, thus he can be carrying hazardous materials or explosives in his personal belongings. As the personal check commences only after the check in – the point where the luggage is taken into the baggage compartment, one can place the explosive material in the luggage, after it has been checked, but before the personal check. For example, in the luggage check in queue.

Another problem that is sometimes found in airports is theft. After the luggage has been checked in it follows the procedure without the owner’s supervision and can be opened by the airport personnel.
The proposed technology has been developed for immediate uncovering of unsanctioned tampering of baggage on airliners, in every stage, from the security check up to its entry to the plane. Application of the proposed technology, does not change the procedures currently in use in the airports, and does not require additional workforce. The core of the idea is to use a wrapping material that changes colour when cut, which allows us to prevent terrorist acts and theft, which occur in air transportation.
