baggage scanner

Airport security imager

A baggage scanner is a security device that uses X-rays or other imaging technology to examine the contents of luggage without opening it.

Found at airports, train stations, and building entrances, baggage scanners allow security personnel to detect weapons, explosives, or contraband: Place your carry-on on the belt and it'll go through the baggage scanner.
