A major upgrade to screening technology is on its way to DXB, which will mean you no longer have to awkwardly take out your liquids or electronics. An agreement between Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects and Smiths Detection means that new state-of-the-art checkpoint scanners will soon be coming to Terminals 1, 2 and 3. The world's busiest international airport will get advanced HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S computed tomography scanners, which will be capable of high-resolution 3D imaging at security. These high-tech scanners can get a look inside your carry-on baggage without the need for you to unpack your laptop, tablet, phone, drinks or toothpaste. The new system also comes with several smart features which should speed up your journey through security. You can expect intelligent lane management combined with automated tray return systems, which should stop you fumbling around for a tray. Software will also be able to help automatically identify objects within the system.
