Smiths Detection is to supply 70 HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX scanners for Kuwait International Airport's new Terminal 2, the company announced on 26 March 2021. They let passengers leave electronics and liquids in their bags.
The terminal, still under construction, is designed for 25 million passengers a year, Smiths Detection said. According to Arab Times, it must be ready by November 2026.

Facial-recognition trial announced for Kuwait International Terminal 4 in 2019
Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation planned a three-month facial-recognition trial at the airport's new Terminal 4, Xinhua reported on 3 July 2019. A day later Intelligent CIO reported that the facial-recognition plans were being revised; Saleh Al-Fadagi, head of the DGCA's engineering department, put the cost of adding features to the terminal at KD 46.4 million. No outcome has been reported.
A reported implementation is not automatically an independently measured AI result.
Editorial assessment
The published records establish the scope of reported activity, subject to the evidence attached to each one. An AI-specific operating result must be demonstrated rather than inferred from a scanner, camera, biometric gate or supplier announcement.
