How can TSA conveyor belts see through your suitcase?

155 views

I’m confused. I assume it’s a similar concept to X-Ray, but when you go through TSA line and look on their computers, there’s wireframes of everything in your bag. How?

It’s not just similar concept, it IS x-rays. They’re x-raying the bags.

The x rays pass right through softer material and don’t pass through solid things like metal. So the TSA x ray machine can see the frame of your suitcase and the inside of your electronics the same way the doctor’s xray machine can see your bones.
