New technology added to security screening line at Halifax Stanfield International Airport
A new piece of technology is being used at a security screening line at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ). The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority's (CATSA's) CT X-ray technology has been added to the Domestic/International checkpoint. The move is the first step in bringing the technology to all screening lines at Halifax Stanfield International Airport and is part of CATSA's national deployment program to introduce CT X-ray systems at several airports over a multi-year period, according to a news release from the federal government. 'As we enter the peak summer season, we are pleased to work closely with our partners at CATSA to introduce an expanded security screening facility, including an additional line that will host one of CATSA's new CT X-ray systems. The implementation of this new technology will help streamline the security process and enhance the passenger experience,' said Dean Bouchard, vice president of airport planning and development at the Halifax International Airport Authority. The new technology means passengers travelling through Halifax will 'no longer need to remove bags with permitted liquids, aerosols and gels (100 ml or less), medical devices, or large electronics – including laptops – from their carry-on bags.' The CT X-ray utilizes three-dimensional rotatable images 'enhancing screening officers' ability to detect explosives and other threat items.'
