Standard x-rays will detect guns and knives but not plastic explosives. The bag contains a bomb!

The skin scattering soft x-ray machine will change that. We can now image guns and other things. There is the intention to begin using the device at sensitive airports as soon as public acceptance can be gained.

Gun at left, bombs at right.

The UK (Nov 2004) has introduced the skin x-ray at selected airports on a voluntary basis as a trial. "Would you, Madam, perfer the hand search at this time, or the eye scan?"
