Could This Scanner Take the Hell Out of Airport Security Checks?

No one wants to be That Person at airport security. You know, the one who is so slow unloading their carry-on belongings into a stream of overflowing trays that an exasperated line starts to snake behind them. Please spare us all from being the one who crawls around on the floor picking up the pocketful of loose change, belt-less pants sagging so low that it’s not just fellow travelers’ patience that starts to show a crack.

Most of us have had an experience like this at some point. At a Danish airfield, the tech company Exruptive is testing out a new invention that could save us from how bad we all seem to be at navigating the checkpoints.
