Legal metrology: Airport: When measurements harass passengers

摘要

The number of measurements performed in an airport is probably countless and of paramount importance for airport and flight security and safety. Measurements are performed following strict rules and best practice in metrology, otherwise our skies would not be as highly safe as they are. However, there is a small number of measurements, related to passengers' luggage that have a non-negligible and sometimes annoying impact on travelers and that are quite likely not performed in a totally fair and metrologically sound way.
