In Airport X-Ray Simulator, players will inspect and view various items within luggage, which may include mature content. The game includes depictions of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, firearms, large blades, explosives, and sex toys. It is important to note that these items are presented as physical objects within the luggage, and there is no depiction of their actual use. Players have the option to disable the inclusion of explosives and sex toys when starting a new game, providing flexibility for those who may find these items offensive.
