PaxPoint is a hand-held detector used in airport environments that is capable of screening bottled liquids and detecting certain classes of potentially dangerous liquids and emanating vapors, even through sealed bottles and other containers.
Hans Kobler, president of ICx Technologies, said: After recent security threats, we refocused our research efforts to develop a practical solution that could help minimize disruptions at airport screening stations due to the new and very real threat, and could ultimately save lives. The need for accurate and effective liquid detection at airports has never been greater and we look forward to working with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to provide technology that will add a crucial level of security to airport screening.
