Smiths Detection Wins TSA Approval for Air Cargo X-ray Screening System
PINE BROOK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smiths Detection today announces its HI-SCAN 100100T-2is X-ray system has been placed on Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) List of Candidate Air Cargo Screening Technologies. With a total of seven systems on the list, including explosives trace detectors and X-ray systems, Smiths Detection offers airlines, freight forwarders and indirect air carriers more approved security screening solutions than any other company.
Mark Laustra, Vice President of Homeland Security, Smiths Detection, said: “Our market-leading security solutions enable the screening of air cargo from break-bulk small packages to large pallets. We back up our products with the world’s largest support and training team, which is vital to keep commerce moving.”
Since 2006, Smiths Detection has worked with its customers to help prepare for the initial TSA air cargo screening mandate which took effect in February 2009.
Laustra added: “Our equipment will help our partners minimize the impact of the mandate and efficiently move cargo thereby maintaining profitability.”
