00:00Big news for people travelling in Italy.
00:02A few weeks ago, the rules changed and proof of identity is no longer required at the boarding gate in the country's airports.
00:09Only a boarding pass is necessary, a measure that surprises many travellers.
00:15I think we should still have to show our IDs, just to verify that the person travelling is actually the person who appears on the ticket.
00:25If it's easier, if it means we travel more smoothly, then yes, it's a good thing.
00:32I think there should still be a security control as we get on the plane, that we show some kind of proof of identity.
00:39It's important, otherwise anybody could board.
00:42This measure applies to internal flights in Italy, but also in the Schengen area.
00:47Identity checks could, however, be reintroduced on certain routes deemed sensitive, in particular on flights to France.
00:55Another change, it is now possible to embark with up to two litres of liquid in your hand luggage.
01:01No more discarding water bottles at security.
01:04This measure concerns five Italian airports, recently equipped with next generation security scanners.
01:11These scanners can analyse the composition of the liquids and evaluate whether or not they are dangerous for air travel.
01:19Artificial intelligence allows us to identify potentially dangerous or explosive liquids inside recipients in the travellers' hand luggage,
01:26and warns the security agent of a possible risk.
01:32Thanks to these new machines, it is also no longer necessary to remove computers or tablets from hand luggage at security control.
01:39It's really convenient. It speeds up the checking process.
01:45This new technology will undoubtedly speed up security control. It significantly reduces waiting times.
01:53The objective is obvious. To make air travel easier, quicker and more efficient.
01:59For the some 200 million travellers that transit through Italian airports.
02:04It's interesting.
02:05Nice.
02:17To make air travel.
