Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / Flughafen-Sicherheitschecks
German term or phrase: Auflagetisch
Aus dem Jahresbericht eines Flughafens, Punkt Investitionen:
Aufgrund gesetzlicher Änderungen und geforderter erhöhter Sicherheitsvorschriften wurden bauliche Maßnahmen im Bereich der Sicherheitskontrolle im Terminal notwendig. Zwei zusätzliche Sicherheitsstraßen und die Verlängerung der Auflagetische sollen die rasche Passagierabfertigung auch unter Einhaltung der neuen Sicherheitsvorschriften garantieren.

Gibt's für diese Tische, auf denen man sein Handgepäck, Schlüssel, Computer usw. ausbreiten muss, einen engl. Fachausdruck?

'Inspection desk' and 'carry-on lugage' would also work.

Explanation:
Er...well...not exactly a translation of the asked term, I must admit, but a sort of first idea that crossed my mind after reading the asker's explanation that these are "Tische, auf denen man sein Handgepäck, Schlüssel, Computer usw. ausbreiten muss" in the context of "Flughafen-Sicherheitschecks".
