Marie Donlon | July 11, 2021A U.K. software startup has developed smart security trays for airports that enhance security and prevent the loss of luggage.

According to its developers, the smart tray features a smart card reader that is linked to a smart card issued to passengers at airport security kiosks and thus to any belongings that passengers place on those trays.
In addition to preventing the loss of luggage, the trays can also serve as another layer of security by analyzing the contents of the luggage on the tray using an X-ray interface. This reportedly improves the speed of airport security checks at airports and enhances border security.
UtterBerry is in the process of shopping the smart tray technology to airports throughout the U.K.
Shortly we will be chipped and connected to WiFi and bumped off as and when it suits some underpaid fat controller in a bedroom. Can these techies not come up with something better than sci-fi ideas to control people? What a waste of a vacation and vocation. Typical of Britain to need this.
