Airport X-rays to find explosives

Quote:

A new X-ray machine that automatically detects explosives and liquids in passengers' hand luggage will be introduced at seven UK airports. The Advanced Threat Identification X-ray (ATIX) system takes multiple views of a bag in the time current X-ray machines take a single view.

To be installed in the UK next year.

Bet you still won't be able to take more than 100ml of liquid, though.

I guess things may get better for a short while, whilst the threat of breaking up the BAA monopoly exists. Afterwards, all those extra security staff will become 'surplus to requirements'.
