A spaceship? A nacelle Of the Super Saiyans? Or an innovative machine for making the CT SCAN?

In this article:

    None of the above, at London City Airport, some futuristic (and really very beautiful) scanner for our carry-on luggage, which promise resolutions never before seen and baggage processing times much more quick Than the current ones.

    The manufacturing company is called Analogic Corporation and will change security screening forever. The new X-ray scanner, along with the innovative body scanner, will make it possible to significantly reduce the waiting times At the airport to carry out checks.

    From now on you can leave liquids and laptops in your suitcase

    The phase of testing began in 2018, after an interesting start at selected airports, the new Analogic has suffered a setback in the last 2 years, for reasons known to all.

    The testing phase has continued, albeit slowly, to reap outstanding results. The real revolution is that, thanks to an advanced scanning system, we will be able to leave everything inside our suitcase (except the forbidden things).

    Laptop, creams, liquids and metal objects can be safely let inside the bags and carry-on luggage, saving us so much money time and especially by making more quickly the line.

    The new Analogic will be used in conjunction with the new body scanner, also innovative, thanks to which we could leave jackets behind, belts, shoes and jewelry on, no more stripping Or groping then.

    For experienced travelers, this is almost a routine and the check takes 3 to 5 minutes at most, for inexperienced travelers or clumsy (we have all encountered them) the security check turns into a dance back and forth under the metal detector... In this way, you throw your bag into the scanner, go under the new body scanner, take your bag back and you go to the lounge, time: 40 seconds.

    Here is Analogic's first appearance in the Passenger Terminal Expo 2017:

    Looking at it, it seems very reminiscent of the engine of our beloved planes, the shape represents it very well, and the white and blue LED lights make it an object futuristic And very pleasant to watch.

    A step up from the current discolored gray boxes with worn carpets that we are used to seeing.

    La Transportation Security Administration (TSA) U.S. said it has placed an order for new Analogic scanners amounting to about 200 million of dollars by entering into a supply, installation and maintenance contract with the company.

    They are currently being tested at some U.S. airports, for example, the McCarran in Los Angeles and Boston. With the new order, there will be about 300 airports that will implement this new "fast-track" experience offered by Analogic.

    "Analogic is extremely pleased to be qualified by TSA under this program and to have received TSA's first production award for implementing these important CPSS systems at U.S. airport security checkpoints.

    The recent 20th anniversary of 9/11 reminds us of the importance of our work, and we are proud to partner again with TSA to implement Analogic's advanced 3D CT technology to strengthen our nation's aviation security while enabling a safer and more efficient service and passenger friendly process."

    Tom Ripp, CEO of Analogic

    At Linate, this is already a reality

    After the closure period, the airport in Milan Linate has reopened its doors With an all-new look, the check-in area has been completely renewed, also from the point of view functional as well as aesthetic.

    The area has been expanded on 3 levels and for controls, the Face Boarding, an innovative way to check in superfast  and pass security checks without having to continuously exhibit Boarding pass and ID. How. Thanks to the facial recognition, saving time and with a contact-less approach.

    New machines have been installed in the security control area. EDS-CB, or Explosives Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage, which use technology similar to that used by CT scans.

    This is an innovative system such as Analogic's, thanks to which it is no longer necessary to remove liquids and electronic devices from carry-on luggage.

    Think how wonderful it would be if they implemented throughout the world This advanced technology together with the new body scanner... Traveling by plane would be as fast as taking a train or bus!
