At 12 noon, Terminal 2 of Capital Airport ushered in the peak of passenger flow. In the busy security check area, all the security channels have been opened, and the passengers are bustling with people.
At the end of the security lane, the backpacks, suitcases, and coats carried by passengers are released from the X-ray machine one by one. With the cooperation of his colleagues, Sun Wei, the shift leader on duty, was opening and inspecting the passengers' carry-on luggage.
Hello, your power bank needs to be taken out and checked! Sun Wei took out the power bank carried by the passenger from the security basket, looked at the label on it, and put it back after confirming that it did not exceed the specifications. "Your power bank is fine! Don't forget to take your backpack and phone! ”
After each bag opening inspection, Sun Wei pushes the security basket forward to make room for subsequent passengers. "In winter, passengers must take off their coats when they pass through the security check, and put them back on before leaving, which will inevitably delay the time of the inspection, so it is necessary to guide the on-site order and avoid waiting in groups. Sun Wei said.
Sun Wei's wife, Bian Dongxia, is a training instructor in the security team of Terminal 2, and she will also be involved in front-line security work during the Spring Festival. Although the husband and wife both work in the same terminal, there are not many opportunities to see each other. "Now to catch the peak of passengers, you have to be busy for two or three hours, and you can rest for a while during the low peak hours. ”
With the approach of the Spring Festival, the passenger flow of civil aviation has risen rapidly. In recent days, the number of daily departures of domestic flights in Terminal 2 has remained at 3About 50,000 people, basically back to the level of the Spring Festival transportation before the epidemic. On average, 150 passengers and carry-on baggage are screened in one hour at each security lane.
Security check work requires contact with different passengers every day, and for security screeners, daily work needs to be constantly repeated explanations and reminders, "but passengers' words of 'happy holidays' and 'hard work' can always warm our hearts." Sun Wei said.
Sun Wei said that many passengers are now more familiar with the security screening process, and it is rare to carry excessive liquids and dangerous goods. However, it is still very common to accidentally leave the lighter in your pocket and the power bank exceeds the standard. "When we found it at the security check, there was one less safety hazard. Sun Wei said that safety is no trivial matter, and he and his colleagues dare not slack off.
The work of airport security does not stop for a day. In order to give colleagues from other places more opportunities to go home, as usual, during the Spring Festival holiday this year, the couple who live in Beijing took the initiative to choose to continue to be on duty. "On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, we were both on duty at the same time, and finally brought our children to the unit to celebrate a reunion year. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, we were just in time for the morning shift, and we went home from work at noon, and finally had a reunion dinner at home! Bian Dongxia said happily.
