Currently, before passengers go through exit procedures at Hong Kong International Airport, their carry-on luggage needs to undergo X-ray machine security inspection. Liquids and electronic devices such as laptops need to be placed on separate trays to “pass through”. The new “Policy Address” announced that the Airport Authority will gradually introduce a “flexible” system next year. By then, outbound passengers will no longer need to take out such items when going through security check, making the security check process more convenient.
Sources said that the “light” system includes a new computed tomography X-ray system, which helps the scanned image to be presented three-dimensionally, which is clearer than the current flat image, and can improve safety and efficiency, so there will be no need to remove additional liquids and electronic devices. , but could not provide cost details. In addition, the system will also introduce automatic pallet recycling devices. Sources believe that passengers will have a better outbound experience. They also said that the corresponding security manpower can be changed to cope with the increased passenger volume.
