An Industry and a Technology in Flux
The events of 9/11 caught the luggage and large parcel industry by surprise,
since this industry was operating on a schedule that required the introduction
of proper solutions only by 2025.
With existing technologies and budgets, it is impossible to deliver screening
for more than a small fraction of luggage and parcels, and even that only at
essential and ultra-sensitive sites.
Healthy Growth Amid Necessary Change
The luggage screening market held a steady course, with equipment and service
outlay hovering around $230 million per year during the period 1994-2001.HSRC
forecasts that, post 9/11, this market will grow to $700 million by 2003, $1.2
billion by 2006 and $3.5 billion by 2010.
