Smiths Detection, a pioneer in threat detection and security screening technologies, announces that its industry-pioneer 3D X-ray scanner, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, has been deployed by London Heathrow Airport as part of a £1bn technology upgrade to become the largest airport to fully revolutionize the security screening process.

Smiths Detection’s technology will create a smoother, faster experience for travellers by allowing them to leave liquids and electronic devices in their hand luggage while passing through airport security.
