I believe they are already in use in Amsterdam if I recall. They project a 3D image onto the computer screen not 2D as they are now, which can be manipulated by dragging and swiping the image around. This means passengers don’t have to remove large electrical items or liquids from bags.
Apparently the screening time is longer but bag searching is greatly reduced.
It’s a nightmare at the moment over here though because every KLM flight we get through, most of the passengers are getting their bag searched because they are leaving everything in.
