This AI system uses computer vision to automatically flag unusual screening activity at non-passenger screening checkpoints in Canadian airports, alerting human security staff for review. It is being developed by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) to support its oversight of screening operations. The system involves personal information and its use is disclosed to those affected. It is currently in development and not yet fully deployed.
