The Indianoposil airport is equipped with nine bulky luggage scanners worth $1 million each wait silently beneath the new terminal, poised to check for explosives at a combined rate of 3,600 bags an hour. Concrete bollards guard the main doors. Blast-resistant glass fills the front windows of the $1.1 billion terminal at Indianapolis International Airport, which will open this fall. New and renovated airports have poured millions of dollars into safety upgrades since the September 11 terrorist attacks, working advice from explosives experts into design plans that encompass everything from the most secure place for parking garages to more efficient security checkpoints.
This seems to be a very safe airport. I think, every airport in the world should be passing to such a system. Expensive? Yes. But safe. This should firstly concern EU authorities.
No, definitely not every airport. There are quite safe countries that don't need such security. For example would terrorists attack Nigeria?
1 billion dollars is a very big amount, not each country can afford to build such an airport.
1 billion euros is the yearly budget of some poor countries, so of course it's difficult to build such a system.
There is a formula 1 grand prix in Indianapolis, maybe those systems are destined to scan the luggages of the numerous people coming to see international auto competitions that are held there.

the event is a significant one for sport lovers. I read that about 50,000 tourists come each time to watch this grand prix carried out in Indianopolis. So maybe authorities simply boost security for them.
It is very expensive technology. And be located in all airports it is not necessary. Any explosive items not carry by air and no wai in luggage. Those people are not so stupid.
Is just a expenditure of money. Who now carry by air explosive in secret? is a conviction from the start with their own hands. What you see in movies with terrorists in airplanes only happens in movies
