Baggage security refers to the measures taken to ensure that luggage and personal items are safe during travel, particularly in airports. This process often includes screening bags for prohibited items, such as weapons or explosives, using advanced technology like X-ray machines and metal detectors. Airlines and security agencies, such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), implement strict guidelines to protect passengers and staff. Passengers are usually required to place their bags on conveyor belts for inspection, and they may also need to remove certain items, like laptops and liquids, for separate screening.
