A new explosives detector from General Electric called EntryScan3, which enables passengers to be scanned by simply walking through (much as they now do through a metal detector), has now been deployed to T.F. Green Airport, Warwick, RI; Greater Rochester International Airport, Rochester, NY; San Diego International Airport, San Diego, CA; Tampa International Airport, Tampa, FL; and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, Gulfport, MS. for a trial. Unlike other similar devices being developed in labs around the world that detect explosives by forcibly sucking air off passengers like a vacuum cleaner, the EntryScan3 uses what they call the "human convection plume" to collect molecules from the body and clothing of passengers.
