X-ray baggage scanning for transport hubs
10 February 2022
Terrorists and people wishing to create chaos, damage or disruption can see public transport sites as soft, high-value targets. X-ray baggage scanning for transport hubs is becoming critically important to guarantee public safety.
Threats concealed in bags, holdalls, attaché cases and other carry-items pose serious dangers for staff and public alike. Hoaxes cause the same disruption, chaos and tension as real threats, until they are unmasked. And until then, they must be treated as real threats. X-ray scanning for transport hubs can dramatically reduce this problem, and help to avoid chaos, disruption, fear and tension.
