except it is nothing to do with eID or facial scanning
it's improved resolution of baggage scanners
How will the new technology work?
New generation CT scanners are able to produce high quality 3D scans of bags belonging to passengers from every angle. At present, airports use older machines which can only give lower resolution 2D images.
Facial scanning is not mentioned anywhere. Do you just pluck this shit out of thin air to make it sound like you did some research and found things that meet your agenda?
The airports are privately owned, of course. For instance Heathrow is owned by Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited. Which is, in turn, owned by FGP Topco Limited, a consortium owned and led by the infrastructure specialist Ferrovial S.A. (25.00%), Qatar Investment Authority (20.00%), Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) (12.62%), GIC Singapore (11.20%), Australian Retirement Trust (11.18%), China Investment Corporation (10.00%) and Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) (10.00%).
The secret sauce there is the word "improved" which in reality never seems to be measured or observed.
Why do people need to scan other people's bags? I know the reasons stated in publications, but since it's fairly debunkable info it leaves the most obvious reason.
