About Andy Palmer: Andy Palmer led the introduction and development of a Behavioural Detection capability at Gatwick Airport which is now considered by many to be leading best practice in the subject. Andy is also currently supporting UK Government led trials in High Footfall Screening, developing future strategies and tactics for widespread implementation.

In an article, Andy Palmer explained “…aviation security has historically tended to introduce new processes or technologies after an incident has prompted a reaction. Often these can cause a delay or disruption to passengers’ journeys. However, operators are waking up to the fact that there are other options are now being utilised, which don’t focus solely on one specific threat - behavioural detection.” *
