They have been there at Karachi airport for quite some time now. Don't look very professional to be honest - more of a laboratory project of an engineering university. They have far more better scanners here at German airports.

The modern scanners have been imported from Germany at a cost of PKR 150,000,000/-, according to statement of Deputy Director General of Airports Security Force (ASF).

Image
The scanners will be used for full body scanning of passengers.

The scanning machines will help in preventing narcotics smuggling and possible acts of terrorism.

Image
The scanners will be maintained by Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
