Here's the logical competitor to scanning systems, these are already tested and ready to go. Arguably since anything within the cargo of the plane would require a device to trigger it, the current scanners used should be able to do a very decent job finding the bombs given they are actually used.

Secure Luggage Container

Currently, this container is available for wide-body aircrafts, however, a container for narrow-body aircrafts are also under development.

Blast Resistant
The Secure Luggage Container is a hardened unit load device (HULD) created to contain the harmful effects of a blast on an airplane. The Secure Luggage Container is able to protect the surrounding aircraft structure from all but cosmetic damage during a blast. It is the first container to meet the Federal Aviation Administration's blast resistance specification.

Luggage and Cargo Container
In addition to blast resistance, the containers meet all current LD-3 specifications. The containers are made of a rugged design to minimize operational damage and make them suitable for daily use. Internal cargo tie downs are available with the containers. Base can be provided as "fork lift ready". Containers can also be custom designed for a particular application, if necessary.

Minimal Impact on Airline Operations
Because of the modular design, components are field replaceable with standard hand tools. Containers are offered as side- or end-door models, which results in minimal impact on the loading and unloading operations. It can be opened or closed in under 10 seconds. Please view our video clips of the explosives tests performed on standard luggage containers vs. the secure luggage container. The clips are as follows:
