security checkpoints
Mandatory traveler inspection
Security checkpoints are locations where people, vehicles, or belongings are inspected before being allowed to proceed.
Airports have security checkpoints where passengers pass through metal detectors and have bags screened.
Military and police set up checkpoints to control access to areas or search for contraband: Traffic slowed as we approached the security checkpoint.
