Smiths Detection will provide preventative and corrective maintenance for Explosive Detection Systems (EDS), which includes their CTX 5800, CTX 9000, CTX 9400 and CTX 9800 SEIO scanners, as well as associated networking equipment. To date, Smiths Detection has 486 EDS systems operating in 41 airports across the United States.

The TSA has been setting records in the number of passengers they are screening, most recently on July 7, 2024 when 3 million passengers were screened in a single day. In 2023, the TSA screened over 858 million passengers, with the daily average being 2.4 million people.
