The future of airport screening - 3D HD images?
This is pretty damn impressive - GE is showing off a demo video of their newest luggage scanning equipment.
Unlike current systems that present the screener with a grainy 2D image, the GE "CTX 9800 DSi" is able to grab images from all angles, and present it in HD.
The device just gained TSA certification, which probably means some of our tax money will be going towards buying them to help protect our airports from terrorist passengers.
Then again, knowing how much theft occurs in the baggage area, it could also just be a fantastic new tool for thieves to find better valuables.
