3D Baggage Scanner at Indianapolis International Could Speed You Through Security

A new 3-D baggage scanner at Indianapolis International Airport is one of the first of its kind, and could get you through the security line faster. Indianapolis is one of the first 15 airports in the country to C-T scan your bags. The 3-D imagery allows T-S-A officers to view the items in your bag from all angles without having to take anything out — the computerized images allow a virtual image of the item being lifted, moved, and otherwise repositioned. The airport’s 12 X-ray scanners remain in use, but if you go through the C-T line instead, you won’t have to remove your laptop from its bag — the computer can inspect it without taking it out.
