Airport Security

Introduction
Border Security and Airport Security is important to the viability and sustainable development of the economy of any nation; in this case Jamaica. Thus every building needs a good status to gain the best image and generate a better income.In this case, the security of the facility itself plays a major role in create the best image of the building. With this, security systems provided for a facility must be safe, the best and assuring, to guarantee the safety of the assets its personnel or staff and customers. For many years a lot of illegal cargo or even persons have slid through the customs procedures being performed at both major airports in Jamaica. A man who resides in East Kingston left the Rae Town Beach on the weekend of

Purpose of Study
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which biometric systems can be used to improve the airports security as it relates to Customs and Immigration. The researcher identified that the current security system allows for too many breaches and as a result the purposes for the study might include what the current security measures entail and its effectiveness, how will the biometric affect workers, how biometric implementation will cut down illegal cargo coming into the country and what will the implementation of biometrics means for the improvement of overall airport and border security.

Significance of the study
The researcher is carrying out this research and hopes that the persons in charge of border and airport security will use the information gathered to improve security not only for the airport but for all the citizens within the country. Furthermore biometric system is advance technology and it will place Jamaican airports on the map when it comes to securing both cargo and person. Thus increasing visitor arrivals and revenue generation for the country in a

Biometric systems rely on specific data about unique biological traits in order to work effectively. A biometric system will involve running data through algorithms for a particular result, usually related to a positive identification of a user or other individual.” (Technopedia, 2011)
Border Security is defined by Department of Homeland Security (2015) as “protecting our borders from the illegal movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, is essential to homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty.”

Limitations
First of all, there is a limited amount of literature to use to do the actual research. The initial cost to implement the biometric system will be expensive for the government. Lastly the instrument used might not capture the full extent of biometrics in improving security at the airport in Jamaica.

Delimitations
The study will not include in its sample passengers passing through the airport.
Training staff to use biometric system will not be examined in this research.
In this research government will not be petitioned to install biometric system but to consider its implementation based on several security breaches at the two major ports of
