Bengaluru Airport to Begin Passenger Trials of Full Body Scanners You will keep your phone tab laptop in the bag

During security checks at airports in India, personal gadgets of passengers such as phones, tablets and laptops are kept in a separate tray. This ensures that the gadgets are safe for travel in airplanes. As people’s gadgets are increasing over time, passengers face a lot of inconvenience. During this time, passengers have to stand in long queues. This problem is going to be eased in the coming days. The ‘gadget-in-tray’ security check process is being gradually phased out at major airports in the country. According to a report, a new system is being planned at Bangalore airport.

Passengers boarding flights from Terminal 2 of Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport will be able to go through security checks without removing their phones, tablets etc. from their carry-on bags. Money Control has said in a tweet. Report It said that the trial run of CTX (Computer Tomography X-Ray) machines at Terminal 2 (T2) will begin in the next few weeks. Initially, this facility is only for domestic passengers and will be operational in December 2023.

This will be the first airport in India where CTX machines will be tested. CTX machines will be integrated with Automatic Tray Retrieval System (ATRS) and full-body scanners. With its help, passengers will be able to carry their handbags along with mobiles and tablets through security check points.

According to officials of Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), which operates Kempegowda Airport, three full-body scanners have been installed at Terminal 2 to make the security check system more efficient. They say that with the introduction of the new system, the number of trays per person will be reduced. What is special is that apart from gadgets, liquids etc. will also not have to be taken out of the bag during check-in.

However, there is no information on when the CTX machines will arrive at other major airports. The report said that according to an official of Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Delhi airport had conducted some tests earlier this year.
