Abstract

This disclosure relates to a method for security inspection of baggage and/or personal items. This disclosure also relates to a kit of parts with a detachable single-use inlay and an X-ray tray of a security check at an airport.

Claims (10)

1. A kit of parts comprising a detachable single-use inlay and an X-ray tray adapted for a security check at an airport or other public or private facility, said detachable single-use inlay comprising a paper and/or polymer layer having an outer side and an inner side, wherein said paper and/or polymer layer has an essentially circumferential fringe area adapted to grasp and/or cover the edges of said X-ray tray.

2. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said detachable single-use inlay comprises a protective cover and has a compressed state in which the paper and/or polymer layer is compressed within said protective cover as well as a decompressed state, in which the paper and/or polymer layer is decompressed.

3. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein in the compressed state the length and width of said single-use inlay is reduced by at least 50% and/or wherein in the compressed state the length and width is smaller than 10 cm.

4. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said paper and/or polymer layer is a non-adhesive detachable layer that is attachable by stretching said essentially circumferential fringe area over the edges of said X-ray tray.

5. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said paper and/or polymer layer is watertight.

6. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said polymer layer comprises or is a polymer foil made of polyethylene or polypropylene or an ethylene copolymer or a propylene copolymer.

7. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said paper and/or polymer layer has an average material strength of 10 to 200 μm.

8. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said essentially circumferential fringe area comprises an elastic band and/or the polymer layer is an elastic polymer layer.

9. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said paper and/or polymer layer is coated on the outer and/or inner side with an antibacterial composition and/or wherein an antibacterial composition is part of the material of the paper and/or polymer layer.

10. The kit of parts according to claim 1 , wherein said paper and/or polymer layer is transparent for X-rays and/or visible light.
