At Yantai Railway Station, a man crawled inside an X-ray baggage scanner to check his ID, startling staff who jumped and embraced each other. The machine was stopped immediately; he sustained no injuries.

Social Context

Railway security protocols under the ‘Railway Safety Management Regulations’ strictly prohibit entering scanning equipment—classified as hazardous radiation zones. Staff receive annual safety drills for such breaches, and stations now deploy AI-powered anomaly detection to flag unauthorized access attempts in real time.

Safety Tip

Use official ID verification channels only; never enter security equipment—even briefly—for any reason.
