Abstract
An airport cart adapted for carrying carry-on luggage and personal items divested prior to a security check point. The cart includes a lower luggage tray or shelf, and a pair of vertical supports extends upward from a rear portion of this tray or a horizontal portion of the cart frame. The cart may have dual handles extending rearward in a space-apart manner from the vertical supports such that the handles are parallel to each other and do not block vertical loading of the luggage tray. The cart includes one, two, or more storage or security screening bins that are affixed to or detachably mounted on the vertical supports or the handles. One or more of the storage bins may be compatible with conventional airport screening bins. The bins are horizontally offset from the luggage tray and each other to facilitate unobstructed 3D screening of bags and items in the bins.
