Over 100 CTX 9400s Out There

GE Security says more than 100 CTX 9400 in-line baggage explosive detection units and upgrades are in service at major airports around the world. Still in its first year of availability, CTX 9400 represents the first in a series of enhancements scheduled as part of GE Security's product plan for in-line baggage explosives detection systems. The success of the CTX 9400 demonstrates the value international airports throughout the world see in GE Security's industry-leading explosive detection systems (EDS), the firm believes. "With more than 100 CTX 9400 units and upgrade sales globally, it is clear that airports want an automated in-line explosive detection system that helps lower costs and enhances screening so that checked baggage arrives at the destination with its owner," said Dennis Cooke, president and CEO, GE Security's Homeland Protection business. "GE Security is providing international airports a solution that meets their unique needs to screen, assess and, if necessary, inspect baggage without inconveniencing passengers."
