The scanners mostly use Xray technology, which helps to check and promptly detect abnormalities in travelers’ luggage before they are carried on the plane. These machines have many scanning compartments with different sizes, suitable for scanning many types of luggage and packages.
Luggage entering the inspection compartment will be scanned by X-rays once. Elements such as light sensors, semiconductor detectors mounted in the scanning compartment will come into play with the X-rays. At this time, all images of the luggage will be amplified and sent to the screen of the processing unit.

So even though there are many layers in the package, X-rays can penetrate and show the contents clearly.
Not only at the airport, X-ray scanners are also used for screening and security checks at many other important locations and areas: seaports, customs gates, consulates, government buildings, universities. consulates, important buildings…
Besides X-ray scanners, there are other methods at the airport to check baggage as well as passengers themselves are safe enough and eligible to board the plane or not.
