X-ray Baggage Scanners

X-ray scanners enhance security measures by allowing security personnel to see inside bags, packages, and other items to identify any potential threats or prohibited items that may not be visible through a physical inspection.

Depending on the type of machine, ionizing radiation is used to identify objects that may be hidden by passengers and to create images of what is in luggage. Backscatter passenger scanners are used to detect threats such as weapons or explosives that a person could be carrying under their clothing.
