Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport has begun testing a new form of security
scanner which removes the need for passengers to take liquids and laptops out
of their luggage.
The new scanner makes a 3D picture of the luggage so that
controllers can look at it from every angle. Researchers also want to know if
the new scanner will speed up security checks.
The pilot project is taking
place at two security lanes: one in departure hall 3 and one in transfer hall
E/F. Passengers will, however, still be required to put liquids and gels in a
sealed plastic bag.
If everything goes according to plan and the pilot project
is successful, Schiphol will gradually introduce new scanners to all 67
security lanes. The process will be completed at the end of 2017.
