CT security scanners protects
TSA workers by reducing the
amount of items screeners
need to handle.
SMITHS DETECTION
the end of the year. They were placed in
a stand-alone fashion, but the addition
of Automated Screening Lanes (ASL)
will further help throughput.
" We designed the 6040 CTiX to
be very much a plug and play system
to our current multi-view 6040 ATiX
that's already been at airports, " she said.
" We wanted to keep the footprint very
similar. We also designed the electrical
requirements to be the same so there
wouldn't need to be site work done to
increase the power requirements needed
to operate the systems. "
Lisa Farbstein, spokesperson for TSA
said the new CT technology provides
critical explosives detection capabilities
at the checkpoint and improves the
capability for TSA officers to determine
whether an item inside a carry-on bag
is a possible threat.
The system applies sophisticated
algorithms for the detection of
explosives by creating a 3D image that
can be viewed and rotated on three axes
for thorough visual image analysis by a
TSA officer. If a bag requires further
screening, TSA officers will inspect it to
CT scanners provide a 3D image inside luggage and reduces the
need for additional screening.
SMITHS DETECTION
ensure that a threat item is not contained
inside. It's expected that it will result in
fewer bag checks. Plus, passengers can
be allowed to leave laptops and other
electronic devices in their carry-on bags.
" The 3D imagery of this new unit
is so good that our TSA officers can
manipulate the image on screen to get
a better view of a bag's contents and
often clear items without having to open
a carry-on bag, " she said. " Not only
does this state-of-the art technology
represent an improved security threat
detection capability at the checkpoint,
but it also reduces the need for pulling
aside a bag to be opened, thus reducing
a touchpoint during the pandemic. "

Nordeen said Smiths Detection
also developed a modular UVC light
sanitation module that goes into
the ASL. This allows each tray to be
sanitized between each use. They're
currently being used across the U.K. and
Canada. The company is working with
the TSA to get them installed at the new
terminal at LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
" Nobody likes to handle those bins,
but after COVID, that was a rapid
engineering moment that we saw an
opportunity to solve a problem very
quickly knowing the impact COVID
was going to have within the first few
weeks on aviation and travel, " she said.
