A relatively new technology at U.S. airports and at London\u2019s Heathrow airport is <strong>Computed Tomography (CT),<\/strong> which is used to x-ray carry-on baggage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technology is similar to the CT used in the medical field. The airport\u2019s CT technology creates a 3-D image that can be viewed and rotated 360 degrees in order to detect explosives and other dangerous objects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of CT technology is that it can detect explosives and liquids inside a bag. This allows passengers to keep their electronic devices and 3-1-1 liquids inside their carry-on bags when going through screening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many airports around the world are currently testing this technology. In the U.K. for example, the government is requiring all major airports to incorporate the new CT scanners by the end of 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another technology airports are interested in is<strong> biometrics<\/strong>, especially when related to identity checks. Many airports are evaluating the impacts of using passengers\u2019 biometrics, particularly facial recognition, to verify their identities and get rid of manual ID checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facial recognition <\/strong>would identify passengers starting at check-in via self-service kiosks, through TSA checkpoints, boarding, and even clearing Customs and Border Patrol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the U.S., passenger \u0301 participation in TSA\u2019s biometrics technology tests is voluntary. Should they not want to participate, passengers can choose a manual check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airports are hoping that all this technology will reduce the time it takes passengers to get from the entrance door of the airport to their seats on the plane without sacrificing safety and time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":172,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21567","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Airport Security and technologic equipments - Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Airport security refers to the human and material techniques used to protectpassengers and staff, aircraft, and airport property from unlawful interference.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Airport Security and technologic equipments - Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Airport security refers to the human and material techniques used to protectpassengers and staff, aircraft, and airport property from unlawful interference.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-10-29T15:53:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ferrovial\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Airport Security and technologic equipments - Ferrovial","description":"Airport security refers to the human and material techniques used to protectpassengers and staff, aircraft, and airport property from unlawful interference.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Airport Security and technologic equipments - Ferrovial","og_description":"Airport security refers to the human and material techniques used to protectpassengers and staff, aircraft, and airport property from unlawful interference.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/","og_site_name":"Ferrovial","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ferrovial","article_modified_time":"2025-10-29T15:53:32+00:00","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@ferrovial","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/","url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/","name":"Airport Security and technologic equipments - Ferrovial","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/#website"},"datePublished":"2019-09-10T11:27:16+00:00","dateModified":"2025-10-29T15:53:32+00:00","description":"Airport security refers to the human and material techniques used to protectpassengers and staff, aircraft, and airport property from unlawful interference.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/airport-security\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Portada","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Resources","item":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/resources\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Airport security"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/","name":"Ferrovial","description":"Welcome to the Ferrovial&#039;s website, global operator of sustainable infrastructure.
