Bei dem Spielzeug handelt es sich um einen Gepäckscanner, wie er auf Flughäfen und in öffentlichen Einrichtungen zur Personenkontrolle verwendet wird. Er soll dazu dienen, Kinder spielerisch mit der Kontrollsituation vertraut zu machen. Das Gerät wurde im April 2004 erstmals auf amazon.com in den USA angeboten. Eine Pressemitteilung stammt aus Anfang 2008. Die maximale öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erreichte das Gerät im Frühjahr 2008, als in zahlreichen Internetforen darüber kritisch berichtet wurde. Seit 2011 ist das Gerät praktisch nicht mehr erhältlich.
Die Pressemitteilung zur Markteinführung bewarb das Gerät 2008 wie folgt:
"Wizard Industries, Inc. has announced a new educational aid to make children more comfortable in dealing with our country's need for heighten security. ... Supported by an educational website - www.OperationCheckpoint.com - the "Scan-It Toy X-Ray Machine" was developed by a mother of three to help children understand and be comfortable when dealing with the often daunting and sometimes even frightening security protocols demanded of us all since 9-11 ... During her divorce proceedings in early 2000 Kathy Arena was confronted daily with having her and children's possessions searched by the courthouse security scanner. Kathy and her young children were understandably intimidated. ... "My desire in bringing this product to life is to lessen some of the fear children often suffer in our security conscience society", says Arena. The toy was engineered to be a fun and engaging plaything primarily - fun is always the key to learning with young children - and then as a solid tool for teaching and familiarizing children with today's pervasive security processes."
Zwischen 2005 und 2008 wurde das Gerät im Internet beworben:
"The "Scan-It Toy X-Ray Machine" - a constructive, interactive and educational toy that makes the security screening process easy to understand and maybe even fun."
"In an effort to help children understand and be comfortable and confident in the need and process of higher security protocols we’ve developed a new play and learning toy and resource web site to promote and educate security procedures."
"Scan It® is an educational and creative play toy that helps children become acclimated with airport and public spaces security. The device is both a fun toy and an educational tool. It detects metal objects and simulates an X-ray scan via a functioning conveyor belt that glides articles over its metal detector path. When metallic items are present the unit beeps and lights up.
This unique toy/teaching aid provides ample amounts of healthy fun along with education and awareness of the security measures that people face in real life. A fun and educational booklet is also available upon request along with other online resources at OperationCheckpoint.com. Additional projects and education on airport and public spaces security is also available at OperationCheckpoint.com."
