Stephen Cooper OBE, Reveals How Technology is Being Adopted to Deter Terrorism In Public Spaces. ### Use cases - [Airport Landside Security Screening](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/airports.md): Use case, 2026-10-20. As millions of people pass through airports each day, airports have become a logical target for terrorists. And while airside security has increased significantly in the wake of attacks, landside security has lagged behind—despite attacks at airports in Brussels and Istanbul. People can usually enter airports without encountering much in the way of security measures. - [Stadium Security Screening](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/stadiums.md): Use case, 2026-10-19. Stadiums, as large gathering places, present a complex array of security challenges. These challenges stem from the sheer volume of people, the emotional intensity of events, and the potential for malicious intent. - [Customs Screening for Narcotics Concealed on the Body](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/customs.md): Use case, 2026-10-18. Detecting narcotics concealed on the body under clothing is incredibly challenging. Technology has struggled to deliver effective solutions, and large-scale manual operations are intrusive, costly, and generally impractical. - [Security Screening for Mass Transportation](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/mass-transportation.md): Use case, 2026-10-17. Railway stations, metro systems, bus terminals and other land transport hubs are among the most challenging environments to secure. They are designed to move thousands of people quickly and efficiently, making traditional checkpoint-based security both impractical and disruptive. - [Maritime and Cruise Port Security Screening](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/maritime.md): Use case, 2026-10-16. Effective security screening measures on cruise ships and within port facilities are essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of passengers, crew, and the vessels themselves. Robust maritime security screening measures act as a crucial deterrent against terrorism, the smuggling of illegal substances and weapons, and other potential criminal activities. - [Exhibition and Conference Security Screening](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/exhibitions-conferences.md): Use case, 2026-10-15. In an era where security incidents in public places are a growing concern, exhibition, conference, and trade fair organizers are increasingly looking to adopt innovative solutions to ensure the safety of their visitors and exhibitors while at the same time providing a smooth and speedy entry experience to the venue. - [Hotel Security Screening](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/hotels.md): Use case, 2026-10-14. Guests at high-end hotels, expect a premium hotel experience, seamless luxury, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere—all while feeling safe and secure. However, hotels can be high-profile targets for criminals and terrorists due to their public accessibility and large number of visitors. - [Security Screening for Tourist Attractions and Iconic Landmarks](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/tourist-attractions-iconic-landmarks.md): Use case, 2026-10-13. Tourist attractions and landmark buildings present a unique set of security challenges. Because of their accessibility and symbolic value, such sites are often considered “soft targets” and potentially attractive targets for terrorist attacks. ### Brochures - [Apstec Company Brochure (Eng)](https://apstec.clearagency.ai/news/apstec-company-brochure-eng.md): Brochure, 2026-09-30.
