Travelling through the Edmonton airport will soon be faster, with new CT X-ray technology being installed, allowing passengers to get through security without having to remove their liquids or take their electronics out of their carry-on bags.

“Anything that gets you to get through the airport faster in onto where you’re going is a benefit, so any machine like that I’m happy to use,” said Rene Taubensee, a traveller.

The huge machine uses advanced 3-dimensional X-ray rotatable images, able to see liquids, aerosols, and gels while still in their bags, as long as they don’t exceed the 100 ml limit.

“Just put the bag through the X-ray, and it will come out the other side hopefully clear,” said Rod Gore, service delivery manager with Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA).
