The new CT scanners at Gatwick Airport have led to unexpected security delays as passengers are frequently asked if they have apples in their hand luggage. This technology was introduced to improve screening for liquids and electronic items, yet it struggles to recognize that apples do not pose a security threat. Travelers have reported confusion at the security checks, with some discovering fruit in their bags only after being questioned by security staff. The scanners also misidentify other common items like dense journals, resulting in further checks and prolonged wait times for passengers.
Tourists travelling through Gatwick this summer are being asked about having apples in their hand luggage as new CT scanners flag them as security risks.
Passengers no longer need to put liquids in plastic bags due to the introduction of CT scanners at Gatwick, but they face new delays over fruit.
