Abstract
A security bin for use in separating and X-ray scanning personal belongings as part of a security screening process, wherein the bin comprises cantilevered handles comprising at least one bin identification number that is detectable by X-ray. The handles extend outwardly from a perimeter side or edge of the bin, wherein the perimeter defines an opening of the bin. The security bin further comprises an identification number that is optically detectable and corresponds to the identification number that is detectable by X-ray.

A security bin, comprising:
- a body having a bottom surface in a first plane, and four side walls coupled to a perimeter of the bottom surface and extending upwardly from the bottom surface in a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane, adjacent edges of the four side walls being coupled together to form a continuous sidewall surface, wherein a top edge of each sidewall forms a continuous perimeter edge defining an opening of the body, said sidewalls, bottom surface, and opening defining a cargo compartment of the body;
- a handle having a base coupled to the body and extending outwardly therefrom in third plane that is parallel to the first plane, said handle comprising a grip surface coupled to the base and positioned external to the sidewalls, the bottom surface, and the opening;
- and
- a bin identification number coupled to the handle, wherein the bin identification number is detectable by X-ray.
