Reveal Deployed at
Wichita
The Transportation Security Administration has deployed
two Reveal explosives detection systems (EDS) for
screening checked baggage at Wichita Mid-Continent
Airport (ICT). The Reveal CT-80 machines are smaller in
size and are less than half the price of other EDS
machines currently in use at many commercial airports
nationwide.
As of January 2007, TSA has deployed 112 Reveal
machines at a total of 37 airports, including at the original
pilot locations. The two EDS machines at ICT will be
located between the Delta Connection and US Airways
Rocky Mountain
ticket counters. The Reveal technology was specifically
designed for use at mostly small- to medium-size airports.
The Reveal machines cost approximately $350,000 each
