The big players in the arena are Morpho detection, GE, Smiths Detection, Siemens and L3.

Thanks for the empirical data.

Any concerns by the operators, say noises, screen quality changing, etc?

Having seen previous all-in simple-tech to high-tech transitions go bad, and all operations coming to a halt (and people screaming where's the old stuff). Just wondering what the strategic process is to ensure there's enough processing capability to deal with these AITs, when they start to get flaky.
