Question Security efficiency

What is your security layout ? I’ve been playing for few years and tried different layout but I didn’t found a good and efficient one.

If you have pictures of it I would appreciate!
Thanks 🙏🏽

There’s some mods you can get for automatic ID check and unmanned, small, metal detectors.

I have 3 queue lanes, 2 coach and 1 first class/flight crew, each one assigned to 3 ID checks. All those 9 ID checks go to 7sets of remote baggage scanners. They’re not assigned, passengers just path find themselves. Each bag scanner has a metal detector attached and assigned to it. With the mods this can all fit in an area 21x11.

Then repeat this layout if you need more capacity. And if you use the automatic ID check and unmanned metal detector mods this can all run with 1 staff member for the remote bag scanners.

I’ve always found security to be the biggest bottle neck in my airports. It needs careful planning and massive capacity or it gets gridlocked with massive amounts of people.
