Airports

Airport metal detectors are electronic instruments for identifying different types of metal objects. Terrorism, hijacking, and bombings have lead to the installation of airport metal detectors for security reasons. Walk over or hand held models of metal detectors are normally used in airports. Airport metal detectors ensure that no weapons or smuggled goods are brought to the airport premises or into the aircraft.





X-Ray radiation penetrates different materials at various rates. The X-Ray machine sees the variations in that density. They see everything that's in your bag. They also pick up on metal and drugs.

These images are then shown onto a screen for sercurity at an airport to see what items people have in their bags and if they are dangerous they will be taken aside.
