- Baggage Inspection
- Baggage screening is conducted to prevent dangerous items (such as knives, firearms, chemicals, and other contraband) from being brought into secure areas like airports, train stations, and other facilities. Common screening methods include metal detectors, X-ray scanners, and liquid inspection systems.
- Baggage Inspection by X-Ray
- X-rays have the ability to penetrate objects. Because the degree to which they pass through (transmittance) depends on an object's density, this property allows for the creation of an image of the object's interior. Therefore, X-ray inspection equipment can penetrate the contents of luggage without opening it, and detect dangerous objects such as knives, firearms, and plastic explosives.
- Metal detectors
- Metal detectors use electromagnetic induction. When a coil carrying an electric current is brought close to a metal conductor, a secondary magnetic field is generated by electromagnetic induction. This secondary magnetic field is used to detect the presence of metal.
- liquid inspection
- Near-infrared light is used in the inspection of liquids in containers. Because different types of liquids absorb light at unique wavelengths, analyzing the spectrum of the transmitted light makes it possible to identify substances such as alcohol and other flammable liquids.
