Geez, this is the device I've been screaming out for - I don't know - maybe three or more years! Finally we get to see one in action. I'm curious which technology they're using for the liquid scanning because there is a company which specializes in chemically analyzing the contents of containers without sample prep via a simple scan - maybe they integrated that in there too.

Well let's see...5 billion wasted taxpayer dollars per year for roughly 5 years, countless wasted hours standing in lines, intrusive searches by rude and moronic screeners combined with idiotic security rules and voila - we have our first next generation screening device. Well done!

Hopefully this initiative won't go bye-bye like the puffer machines started vanishing after the government contractors received their payola..err...bribes...err...payments.
