Center for Adaptive Security Research and Applications

We’re excited to share that CASRA will be attending PTE World (Passenger Terminal Expo) (PTE) in London on March 17th -19th, 2026.

PTE is always a great opportunity to connect with airport and aviation professionals, exchange ideas, and explore how the industry is evolving — especially around operations and compliance.

If you’re attending too, we’d be happy to schedule a meeting and discuss how CASRA supports airports and stakeholders with the state-of-the art training and testing solutions for X-ray screeners.

Feel free to reach out via email  customerrelations@casra.ch to arrange a time.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in London!

CASRA was proud to sponsor the World Customs Organization Technology Conference 2026 in Abu Dhabi — an inspiring and forward-looking event that brought together leaders and innovators from across the global customs and technology community. The conference delivered outstanding discussions, valuable insights, and an impressive turnout.

We were especially delighted by the strong foot traffic at the CASRA (Center for Adaptive Security Research & Applications) booth and the many engaging conversations we had with participants throughout the event. A sincere thank you to the World Customs Organization for organizing such a great conference, and to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect, exchange ideas, and learn more about our work.

Since 2012, we have been publishing newsletters in which we present results from our research, address trends, and provide information for security practitioners.

The first article of this issue describes the results of our study about explosives detection systems for cabin baggage (EDSCB). These systems flag potential threats in X-ray images but also generate false alarms and miscues. Our study with 112 screeners found that miscues reduced knife detection, highlighting the need for clear instructions to inspect the entire image whenever an EDSCB alarm occurs.

The second article covers an interview with two border security management clients who share how they are strength­ening human–machine performance in X-ray screening. Subscribe to our newsletter.
