Backscatter technology is a form of airport security used to detect objects hidden beneath clothing or in luggage. It works by emitting low-level X-rays that are reflected off the body and captured by a detector. The reflected X-rays are then analyzed to detect any suspicious objects. Backscatter technology is used in airports around the world to detect weapons, explosives, and other contraband. Backscatter technology has been in use since the early 2000s, and has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to detect objects that other security measures may miss. It is also seen as a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional metal detectors. Companies in the backscatter market include American Science and Engineering, Smiths Detection, L3 Technologies, and Rapiscan Systems. These companies specialize in the development and manufacture of backscatter technology for airport security. Show Less Read more
