Product Description
A baggage scanner is a security inspection device used at airports, metro stations, malls, offices, and public buildings to scan the contents of bags, luggage, and parcels without opening them. It uses X-ray imaging technology to detect concealed objects, explosives, weapons, contraband, or prohibited items.

How Does a Baggage Scanner Work?
1. The bag is placed on a conveyor belt.
2. It passes through a tunnel where X-ray beams penetrate the bag.
3. The X-rays are absorbed differently by various materials (metal, plastic, organic items).
4. The scanner converts this into a real-time image displayed on a monitor for the security operator.
5. Colors are typically used to differentiate materials:
Orange organic materials (food, explosives)
Blue or green metals
Black dense or unknown items
