The new EDS systems they use in TLV these days have large flat screen TVs for every station of a manual baggage screen. When the EDS system alerts on something, the screener gets a full snapshot of the bag on screen, with the shape of the item that gave the alert and it's exact location in the bag. This way, time is saved and the screener does not have to go all over the bag to find that toothpaste.
