New Dublin Airport 3D security scanners will end liquid restrictions

Dublin Airport has introduced six new 3D security scanners which will mean quicker security checks, and eventually see the end of liquids restrictions.

The new C3 scanners at Dublin Airport will replace traditional baggage x-ray machines with 3D scans that will instantly provide an image of a bag’s contents. The technology will mean that passengers won’t have to remove liquids or electronics from their bags during security checks, and it's set to help get passengers through more quickly.

Taking to social media in recent days, Dublin Airport wrote: "By mid-June, we'll have 5 scanners installed in our 2 terminals, including this new lane in T2. The ramp-up in installations follows a successful pilot trial of the technology over the past 6 months."
