Luggage Lookers: Major Thai airports to X-ray incoming items on baggage carousel

Soon, the baggage carousels at the five major Thai airports will feature X-ray devices that scan all incoming baggage for items that are dutiable or not allowed, according to Kulit Sombatsiri, Customs Department director-general.

More than 20 X-ray machines will be placed on the carousels at Suvarnabhumi, while six more will be installed at Don Mueang, Phuket, Samui and Chiang Mai airports, reported Bangkok Post.

The machines should cost about THB2 billion. They will start to be installed next year and be up and running by 2018.
