Leidos said that its ClearScan cabin baggage scanner features advanced explosives detection algorithms, allowing travellers to retain approved electronics and liquids within the baggage.

The move will help reduce the time taken per traveller at the checkpoint. 

Airports in Atlanta, Amsterdam, Chicago, and London were the first to incorporate these systems.

The deployment resulted in positive results for many years, claimed the technology provider.
