Hello crgj,
Thank you for your question.
I searched [European +airport +"security systems" +manufacturer OR
distributor] to find the following:
An interesting article on security at Polish Airports listing their
equipment used:
AIRPORT SAFETY AND SECURITY EQUIPMENT IN POLAND
http://www.mac.doc.gov/eebic/countryr/poland/market/airsec.htm
"...Currently, Okecie Warsaw Airport screens hold baggage of
Israeli carrier ELAL, a U.S. carrier Delta and a limited
number of other flights. The full screening is done upon the
request of an airline. The equipment, conventional X-ray
scanners, is provided by Heimann (German manufacturer). There
are two pieces of equipment for screening for radioactive
products made by US EG&G Astrophics, but they will need to be
replaced soon.
Polish Airports Enterprise intends to cover 100% of the hold
baggage with the screening system in the foreseeable future.
Cabin Baggage Screening:
The conventional cabin baggage screening units are supplied
exclusively by the German manufacturer Heimann, a subsidiary
of Siemens. This equipment is installed at all international
and domestic airports in Poland.
Passenger Screening:
Metorex, a Finnish manufacturer, has traditionally been the
sole supplier of the 100 passenger screening walk through
gates at Warsaw Okecie Airport..."

"... In addition to general airplane security applications such as
threat detection, physical security and access control, these systems
are used for monitoring activity in the cockpit, passenger cabin and
cargo hold.
CabinVu, the latest video camera system in AD Aerospace's successful
FlightVu range of airborne security/safety video camera products,
offers the flight deck crew an opportunity to assess the situation
outside the cockpit door and identify people before allowing them
access. This has become increasingly more important following the DfT,
FAA and ICAO rulings on the fitting of intruder resistant cockpit
doors and provides a basis for decision making in critical and life
threatening situations..."

SecureFLIGHT(TM) is a free-standing, automated image capture system
that links Viisage Technology's biometric networked processor with its
FaceFINDERTM) software for overt screening at airport security
checkpoints.SecureFLIGHT integrates an illumination source with a
high-resolution color camera to capture optimal live video of
passengers' faces as they enter security checkpoints. It features an
audio speaker and indicator lights to notify passengers when they can
proceed through the checkpoint. The system transmits the live video
steam to FaceFINDER to process the image, comparing it against a
database of known criminals and terrorists provided by law
enforcement. According to the manufacturer, the process takes five
seconds.
