Scanning One Body at a Time (Sans X-Rays)

For all those coming home over the weekend from mom and dad’s after eating way too much turkey and even more pumpkin pie, you all know the dread of going back to the airport.

After concluding our trip in Texas a couple of weeks ago, I can tell you security check points really need help in speeding things up. Forty minutes in line wasn’t fun at 6:30 a.m. in the San Antonio Airport. SafeView Inc. thinks it’s got this aspect covered and maybe more airports will start slapping these security scanning portals in that will let the TSA insure passengers are not carrying guns, bombs in their shoes, or those extremely dangerous finger nail clippers.

Using technology developed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Lab, and additional R&D funding from the Federal Aviation Administration, SafeView has created a line of next generation security scanning portals. These portals allow security personnel to safely and efficiently determine if people, whether visitors, employees, residents, guests or passengers - are transporting unwanted objects into or out of the premises.
