Special 3D security scanners at Dublin Airport to spell the end of liquid restrictions

Six new 3D security scanners at Dublin Airport will lead to quicker security checks, and will eventually see the end of liquid restrictions.

The new C3 scanners at the capital's airport will replace X-ray machines with 3D scans that will give security an image of a bag’s contents. This means liquids and electronics can stay in bags during security checks, leading to significantly reduced wait times, Dublin Live reports.

Sharing the news on Twitter, a Dublin Airport spokesperson said: "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."
