Your parcel may be scanned by a Gemini Parcel Inspection System from American Science and Engineering Inc (AS&E) if you are in the Beijing Olympics next year. The company has received an order for 15 Gemini X-ray Inspection Systems to secure checkpoints at the Games.

These machines use the Z Backscatter technology which provides users with photo-like images and highlights organic materials. Small wires which may the parts of a bomb or Improvised Explosive Device (IED) are not missed either. The image below is what the Gemini is capable of.

With such advanced technology and security, visitors to the Games can at least, have some peace of mind.
