In-line EDS Project Includes Energy-saving Element

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) Board of Commissioners recently approved a contract for a new in-line explosive detection system (EDS) at Nashville International Airport (BNA) and work is well underway.

EDS machines work like the MRI machines in your doctor’s office. The machines can quickly determine whether or not a bag contains a potential threat. If a weapon or explosive is detected, the machines alert security officers so they can manage the bag appropriately. Read more.
