<h1>Customs reduces excessive baggage screening for Green Channel passengers at airports from 15-20% to targeted approach</h1> Customs authorities issued a circular addressing excessive baggage screening at airports. At Mumbai Airport, 15-20% of passengers arriving from sensitive destinations and using the Green Channel were being subjected to baggage screening, causing significant inconvenience and undermining the Green Channel's purpose. The Ministry determined such high screening percentages were unnecessary for Green Channel passengers. Instead, field formations were directed to enhance intelligence and surveillance systems for passenger profiling, ensuring only suspect passengers and frequent short-visit travelers are diverted from the Green Channel. The circular emphasized improving targeted screening rather than blanket screening practices. Field formations were required to report their implementation actions to the Board promptly. This directive aimed to balance security concerns with passenger convenience while maintaining the integrity of the Green Channel system for legitimate travelers.
