Explosives Detection Systems Protecting Visitors, Athletes Returning Home From Olympics

  • Aug 25, 2008

GE Security Inc., a business of GE Enterprise Solutions recently announced its Homeland Protection business installed 12 GE Security CTX 9000 DSi advanced baggage screening systems at Beijing Capital International Airport’s (BCIA) Terminal Three as part of the city’s infrastructure investment for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

GE Security’s CTX 9000 advanced technology explosives detection systems are helping BCIA better protect visitors and athletes returning home after the Olympic Games. They are configured to optimally accommodate the 43 million air passengers and 170,000 flights per year for which the terminal was designed and also serve as a model for inline baggage screening systems throughout the country and region.

“GE Security is pleased to be the provider of this reliable and advanced security technology for this state of the art airport terminal that is currently supporting travelers returning home from the world’s premiere sporting event,” said Dennis Cooke, president and CEO, GE Security's Homeland Protection business. “This deployment of advanced explosives detection capability to Beijing Capital International Airport underscores our commitment to providing integrated, real-world security solutions that are helping protect and secure Beijing 2008 Olympic Games athletes and visitors as well as all air travelers.”

“Our investment in GE’s aviation security solutions is helping to make our security operations more effective, more efficient and more convenient for our passengers,” said Mr. Yuan, vice president, BCIA expansion headquarters.

The GE CTX 9000 line of CT-based inline explosives detection baggage screening solutions is designed to integrate with airport baggage handling systems (BHS). The CTX 9000 system is TSA-certified and is often well suited for fast-paced airport environments.

With construction of the new Terminal Three beginning in 2004, China has invested approximately $2 billion USD to develop it as a modern gateway to accommodate increased international visitation to the Chinese capitol. The terminal’s development is part of an unprecedented $40 billion USD infrastructure investment ahead of the 2008 Olympic Games, which host city Beijing anticipates to be among the most profitable and well attended of recent Games.

That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
