70 million Indians have a disability.

On average, one out of every 10 travelers has some level of disability. Not
just major disabilities, but also the elderly and the injured. This percentage is
growing as the baby boomers are aging.
India ratified CRPD, Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities, in 2007. By doing so, it recognized among other things:
a) That discrimination against any person on the basis of disability is a
violation of the inherent dignity and worth of the human person;
b) The need to promote and protect the human rights of all persons with
disabilities, including those who require more intensive support;
c) The importance for persons with disabilities of their individual
autonomy and independence, including the freedom to make their own
choices;
d) Recognizing that children with disabilities should have full enjoyment
of all human rights and fundamental freedoms on an equal basis.
An airport can be a stressful environment and poses challenges for all
travelers. Imagine encountering those challenges with a disability --- now
imagine how you can help alleviate those challenges.
CISF personnel in charge of security screening at airports, should ensure that
passengers with disabilities have a positive experience by being kind,
courteous and knowledgeable.
The key to providing exemplary service is knowing how to efectively interact
with people with disabilities let us learn how.

Section I: Travellers with Disabilities:

1. Screening of Passengers with Mobility Impairment may:

Use Wheelchair or Scooters
Use Prosthetic Devices (Annexure A)
Use Mobility Devices like canes, crutches or braces
Have Metal Joint Implants like artificial knees or hips
Have a Cast, Brace, or Support Appliance
Have difficulty walking or standing
Cannot remove shoes

Passenger with any of the mobility impairment listed above should inform the
CISF officer before screening begins if he or she has:
Difficulty Walking or Standing including difficulty standing from the
wheelchair
Uses Mobility Devices like canes, crutches, braces or calipers
Has a Cast, Brace, or Support Appliance
Cannot Remove Shoes
Have Metal Joint Implants

Do's of Screening of Passengers with Mobility Impairment:

Screen all such passengers with a thorough pat down process.

Screening be conducted in a private area with the CISF officer of the
same gender as that of the passenger.
Use ETD, Explosive Trace Detection to screen the passenger's
wheel-chair, scooter including the seat cushions and any nonremovable pouches or fanny packs. Any removable items be required
to undergo X-ray screening.
The passengers walker, crutch, cane, or other device must
undergo X-ray screening, unless it cannot fit through the X-ray.
If an item cannot fit through the X-ray, or the passenger cannot be
separated from the item, it must be inspected by an officer. The
passenger should tell the officer if he/she needs to be immediately
reunited with the device after it is screened by X-ray.
Passengers who cannot remove shoes be screened with a
thorough pat down process. Screening to be conducted with the
CISF staf of the same gender as that of the passenger. Use ETD to
screen shoes.

Passengers who have metal implants such as artificial knees or

hips, should inform a CISF officer before screening begins. If a
passenger cannot or chooses not be screening by imaging
technology/ETD or the passenger alarms a walk-through metal
detector, the passenger be screened using a thorough pat-down
procedure.
Passengers with cast, brace or calipers or supportive
appliances should be screened without removing them with a
thorough pat down process. Screening be conducted with the CISF
staf of the same gender as that of the passenger. Use ETD to screen
cast, brace or calipers.
Passengers who intend to check-in with their own wheelchair be given
the option of using a station/airport wheelchair. If the passengers
prefer to use their own wheelchair, they shall be permitted to
use it.

Don'ts of Screening Passengers with Mobility Impairment

Do not force wheel chair users to stand from their wheel chairs
Do not attempt to manually lift the wheel chair user as this is
against his/her dignity and most of all it jeopardizes his/her safety
Under no circumstances should the passenger be asked to
remove cast, brace, calipers, metal implants or supportive
alliances and even shoes if the passenger cannot remove
shoes.
Annexure A: Screening of Passengers with Prosthetics
Prosthetic limbs are mechanical devices worn by amputees. They can
be worn above knee, below knee, on the elbow or shoulder,
depending on the nature of amputation.
Parts of a prosthetic limb:
Pylon - internal frame or skeleton of the prosthetic limb. Provides
structural support and formed of metal rods or lighter carbon-fibre
composites.
Foam cover - Pylons are enclosed with a foam-like material, shaped
and coloured to match the persons skin tone to make the prosthetic
limb look lifelike.
Socket - the portion of the prosthetic device where the amputees limb
stump is fitted in.
Advanced prosthetic limbs can be equipped with a microprocessor
(computer chip) and sensors. They may have a power charging point.

Do's of Screening of Passengers with Prosthetics

Passengers with prostheses (usually worn by patients with

mobility impairment) should be screened without removing
them.

The passenger should inform the CISF Officer of the existence of a

prosthetic device or caliper, his or her ability, and of any need for
assistance before screening begins.
Upon production of the Government Disability ID Card (if available), the
security official should begin the specified screening process ensuring
discretion and privacy for the passenger.
Passengers with prostheses should be screened using
advanced technological mechanisms such as Explosive Trace
Detectors (ETD). Airport Operators should be mandated to procure
Explosive Trace Detectors and other necessary equipment according to
international standards.
If additional screening aside from ETD is required, the passenger
should be screened using a thorough physical pat-down procedure
instead.
A physical pat-down procedure should be used to resolve any alarms of
ETD.
If a physical pat-down is required in order to complete
screening, the following points should be considered:
a. The pat-down should be conducted by an officer of the same
gender. The passenger can request a private screening at any time
and a private screening should be ofered when the officer must
pat-down sensitive areas. During a private screening, another CISF
employee of the same gender as the passenger should also be
present and the passenger may be accompanied by a companion of
his or her choosing.
b. A passenger may ask for a chair if he or she needs to sit down.
c. A passenger should be given the right to inform an officer before
the pat-down begins, of any difficulty in raising his or her arms,
remaining in the position required for a pat-down, or any areas of
the body that are painful when touched.
d. A passenger should not be asked to remove or lift any article of
clothing to reveal.

Don'ts of Screening of Passengers with Prosthetics

Under no circumstances should the passenger be asked to

remove his/her prosthesis.
Under no circumstances should the passenger be asked to
strip to remove prosthesis.
Under no circumstances should the passenger's prosthesis be
put through X-Ray machine.
2. Intellectual Disabilities
Intellectual Disability, also known as learning disability, and previously
known as mental retardation, is a generalized disorder characterized by
significantly impaired cognitive functioning. Cognitive functioning is
performance in mental processes such as thinking, understanding and
remembering. It may include impairments such as Down Syndrome and
children with behavioral and emotional disorders.

Screening:

separated from their traveling companions.
The passenger or his or her traveling companions be allowed to ofer
suggestions on the best way to approach and screen the passenger,
especially if it is necessary to touch him or her during screening.
The passenger be given the option of being screened using walkthrough metal detectors.
If the passenger declined this option, then he/she be screened using a
thorough pat down process instead.
Tell the passenger exactly what is going to happen. For example, I will
have to pat you along your arms, your body, and legs. I will also use
this (ETD) to pat you down.

Etiquette for Screening of Individuals with Intellectual

Disabilities

Speak directly to the passenger when making a request or giving an

instruction, eg Lift your arms etc. The passenger might seem
unfocussed, looking away, and not listening to at all. She/he might just
have difficulty in looking at you. The does not mean she/he is not

such as blindness. They may afect mental ability, such as learning disorders.
Or the problem can be both physical and mental, such as Cerebral Palsy,
Autism.

Screening Method:

Passengers with developmental disabilities may experience impaired

cognition, mobility and/or sensory deficit. They must be screened
without being separated from their traveling companions.
If the passenger uses a wheelchair follow direction provided in the slide
on screening passengers with mobility impairments
Allow passenger or travelling companions to ofer suggestions on the
best way to approach and screen the passenger, especially if it is
necessary to touch during screening.

walk-through metal detector.
If a passenger has radioactive medication, it should be permitted
through a screening checkpoint once screened.
6. Portable Oxygen & Passengers with CPAPs, BiPAPs, and APAPs (Respiratory
Equipment)

If a passenger uses a portable oxygen concentrator, the manner in

which the passenger is screened should depend on whether he or she
can disconnect from the oxygen concentrator. Passengers should check
with their doctors to determine whether they can safely disconnect
during screening. It is important for a passenger to inform the officer
conducting the screening whether he or she can disconnect before the
screening process begins.
Passengers who can disconnect be screened with ETD or with a pat
down process.
If the passengers respiratory equipment cannot be disconnected, it
should be tested for traces of explosives. If explosive material is
detected, the passenger should be asked to undergo additional
screening.
