New screening machine sees your carry-on in 3-D

A pilot program featuring a carry-on-baggage screening machine called the Analogic COBRA will go on line Saturday at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport’s Terminal D north security checkpoint. The Automatic Explosive Detection System, or Auto-EDS, creates three-dimensional representations of a bag’s contents using technology similar to medical CT scans and does not require the contents to be removed. It also features an automated bin return system.
