TSA Awards Smiths Detection Contract for New Checkpoint X-Ray System

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) awarded Smiths Detection a US$21 million contract for a new-technology X-ray machine that can automatically detect explosives and liquids at passenger checkpoints.

Smiths describes its aTiX (advanced threat identification X-ray) as a next-generation system, whose major difference from currently-used equipment is its ability to take multiple views of carry-on bags in a single pass, and in the same time it takes with existing checkpoint X-ray systems. In addition, it has new software algorithms that can help detect liquid explosives.  11-09-2007.
