A system for automated security inspection of in-transit baggage. The system comprises a conveyor 32-1 for conveying a baggage item 9a, the conveyor located inside a vehicle 5, a sealable compartment 11 inside the vehicle, and one or more measuring devices 12 located in the sealable compartment 11. A vehicle on-board control module is configured to automatically receive measured screening parameters of the baggage item 9a from the measuring devices 12 when the compartment 11 is sealed, and to control the conveyor device 32-1 to move the baggage item 9a based on a comparison of the measured screening parameters against security parameters to check that the security parameters are observed. The sealable compartment 11 may be a hermetically sealed container or the boot or trunk of the vehicle 5. The system may be useful for screening baggage prior to loading onto a transportation craft at a departure terminal, and may link up with a baggage conveying system for further screening of the baggage or for loading onto the craft.
