Smiths Detection System Qualifies For Updated TSA List

The dual-view HI-SCAN 6040-2is X-ray inspection system from Smiths Detection, Inc. (SDI) has become its latest system to be accepted into the “Qualified” section of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL).

The HI-SCAN 6040-2is is an advanced, dual-view X-ray inspection system which uses multiple views and sophisticated algorithms to indicate items that might be threats. It offers ACSTL “Category A” screening for smaller items, items that will later be in pallets, or break bulk cargo. It is designed to penetrate 35mm steel and is suitable for use in government buildings, hotels and other infrastructures where security checkpoints are required. It also has been approved for EU Standard 3 Type C (Liquid Explosive Detection System) use in airport checkpoints across Europe.
