While this transition takes advanced planning, Cropper asserts—there are many benefits Standard 3-approved explosives detection systems (EDS) offer. Benefits that go a long way to meeting the challenges the aviation industry faces today. Cropper and the other report editors offer additional insights on: - Key considerations when planning and implementing a new system. - The benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) technology as a first line in the scanning process. - The new era of screening offered by Standard 3. - The future of security detection and more.
