State-of-the-art devices will improve carry-on item inspection
The United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) installed two new state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) checkpoint scanners at the International Airport West Virginia Yeager.
This device will enhance the inspection capabilities of carry-on items brought to the checkpoint by ticketed passengers flying from the airport.
New CT scanners check carry-on items at the checkpoint, applying a sophisticated algorithm as they generate a 3D image of the contents of the carry-on bags.
This new technology creates a clearer image of a bag’s contents, so the system can detect explosives and other dangerous items by taking hundreds of images with an X-ray camera, which it rotates around the items to provide security officers with. TSA a 3D view of the contents of a carry-on bag.
With this tool, a TSA officer can view the 3D X-ray image on a monitor and manipulate it to get a better view of the contents, this reduces the number of belongings that need to be opened and inspected; however, if a bag requires additional screening, an officer will do so to ensure that there are no dangerous items inside.
In addition to improving security, CT units enhance the traveler experience because users can leave their laptops and other electronic devices in their carry-on luggage; even, passengers screened in security lanes with CT units do not need to remove their travel-size 3-1-1 liquids.
With the new scanners, all carry-on items, including wheeled suitcases, must be placed in a bin for inspection rather than placed on the conveyor belt.
These devices are more efficient for the passenger than older, high-tech units, which provided TSA officers with only a 2-D image and required the passenger to remove or dispose of various items from their carry-on bag before to be reviewed, according to information from Internationalairportreview.
