SEVERE BODY-CHECK IN AIRPORTS

10 airports in the USA have been equipped with a new range of body scanners that might replace the body-search, as the former are more efficient than the devices based on x-Rays used for the luggage search.
Called SmartCheck, the innovative device scans the human body within 2 seconds and provides the officers in charge with the airport’s security with an image that can be processed in about 12 seconds before allowing the pass.

One of the drawbacks in the device would be its high precision: the images might reveal all the human body details. Even more, the problem of radiation adds up. What remains an advantage is the fact that the passenger’s face remains unrevealed. Except for the airports in the USA: L.A., Phoenix, Albuquerque, N.M., New York (John F. Kennedy), Denver and Washington (Reagan National); Great Britain, Spain, Japan, Australia, Mexico, ThailandNetherlands are supposed to take over the technology. and
