Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why do I have to take my laptop out of the bag at airport security?
In the near future, you’ll just walk through an airport security gate
with your carry-on bag without even slowing down where high-definition 3D
images are created by a CT scanner and a trained AI system detects potential
hazards. But for now, you still have to remove your laptop, tablet, and
smartphone from your bag before you go through security screening. That’s
because the battery and other mechanical components of these mobile devices are
too dense for X-rays to penetrate and shield other items from view. It’s then
easier and faster to remove such items from the bag before scanning instead of
stopping and reversing the conveyor to have the carrier remove them. X-ray and
human eyes vs. CT scanning and AI judgment, sounds like medical diagnoses,
doesn’t it? Airport security procedures will soon change as technologies
improve and become more reliable and affordable.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about what technologies are being
used in airport security procedures.
