Going through airport security has never been fun especially if you are carrying it laptop your. But according to the news below, soon the checks will probably become less stressful.
At Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, one of the world's largest airports, they began testing new hand baggage scanners that do not require travelers to remove large electronic devices or liquids from their luggage.
If you've ever traveled with a laptop, you'll know that you should take it out case of, and place it in a separate basket. The same thing happens with the perfumes found in your luggage, or of any other kind liquid.
The new technology currently being tested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport can locate and control the above without pulling out of your bag.
The new ClearScan devices provide security personnel with opinions on the contents of each 360-degree piece of luggage, instead of the common X-ray top-down view. This allows security personnel to check luggage from all sides, and have a more accurate picture of the passenger's belongings.
Of course, you should always place the liquids in some airtight plastic packaging, but you should not remove them anymore from your luggage.
As you understand if the new ClearScan devices are eventually used at all airports in the world, they will offer security staff a better view of what passengers carry without wasting the time required to empty each bag.
