Japan Airlines will introduce the Smart Security, using X-ray CT technology, a new type of security inspection at all JAL’s domestic security checkpoints at Tokyo Haneda Airport. The new system will make it possible to inspect passengers’ luggages while keeping laptops or liquid inside.

The X-ray CT inspection system uses a three-dimensional image of the baggage for X-ray inspection, so there is no need to take out  anything from bags.

In addition, three individual preparation tables will be set up per lane, and ready passengers will proceed to security inspection earlier, thereby shortening the waiting time.

In addition, the lanes will be equipped with UV sterilization equipment to provide passengers with security inspection trays that are up to 99.9% sterilized.

Installation of all the systems will begin in late January at security checkpoints B, C, E, and F at domestic flights at Haneda, and the system will be gradually become operational at each security checkpoint after April, with the goal of completing the installation by August
