New Security Scanners at Geneva Airport Installed – no need to remove liquids & laptops!

Already installed at a few European airports including the Luton Fastrack Security queue and coming to London Heathrow soon, the new ClearScan systems are now in place at Geneva Airport.

The L3 ClearScan® cabin baggage screener uses CT technology and advanced algorithms to deliver the highest level of explosives threat detection at an unprecedented false alarm rate. The aviation security system is designed to detect solid and liquid explosives, as well as home made explosive devices offering the highest level of passenger convenience, allowing for liquids and electronics to be screened while remaining in cabin baggage.

The term “computed tomography”, or CT, refers to a computerized x-ray imaging procedure in which a narrow beam of x-rays is aimed and quickly rotated around the item, producing signals that are processed by the machine’s computer to generate cross-sectional images—or “slices”—of the object.
