Canadian Airports to Install CT Scanners for Enhanced Security

New technology will speed up the screening process by eliminating the need to remove liquids and electronics from carry-on bags.

Vancouver International Airport is the first in Canada to deploy CT scanners, operational since September 4.
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority plans to roll out the technology at other airports over the coming years.
CT scanners provide 360-degree views using computerized X-ray imaging to detect explosives and other threats.
Travellers will no longer need to remove liquids, aerosols, gels, or large electronics from their carry-on bags.
The project has a budget of $23 million for the first year, with Vancouver Airport investing an additional $30 million for renovations.
