To increase safety measures, all baggage passing through the HI-SCAN 10080 EDX-2is will be analysed for these items
Global leader in threat recognition and security technologies, Smiths Detection has announced the launch of its new lithium batteries algorithm for the HI-SCAN 10080 EDX-2is – its dual view air cargo and baggage screening system.
All freight and baggage is now checked for these additional items when being screened for explosives. The company has stated that this reduces the burden on image analysts and presents very low false alarm rates.

The Airport Operators Association (AOA) has calculated that UK airports experienced losses of £163.8m in January, prior to the enforcement of the latest travel restrictions.
