TSA has installed two new computed tomography (CT) scanners in the security checkpoint at Casper-Natrona County International Airport (CPR). The CT X-ray scanners are being used to screen departing travelers’ carry-on luggage.
A CT scanner provides advanced explosive detection capabilities by applying a sophisticated algorithm to generate a 3-D image of the contents of the carry-on bag. A TSA officer can view and rotate the Xray image for a thorough visual image analysis on-screen. By getting a better view of the contents of the bag, the TSO is able to resolve potential security threats on-screen, ultimately reducing the number of bag checks that are required.
When a carry-on bag is screened through a CT scanner, travelers can leave everything in their carry-on bag, including electronics larger than a cell phone and travel-size liquids. Every item screened through a CT scanner system must be placed in a bin for screening.
There are currently more than 460 CT scanners in use at 175 airports nationwide. TSA continues to install new CT scanners in airports of all sizes across the country.
Look for the new CT scanners the next time you depart CPR!
PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
