In addition to better detection, the new technology allows travelers to leave electronics inside their carry-ons, saving them time in line.
On Tuesday, TSA officials unveiled new 3D checkpoint scanners that provide enhanced images of the contents inside carry-on luggage.Since May, TSA has seen multiple days break into the top 10 busiest days in the agency’s history and that number is only expected to go up as the summer continues.The new scanners are equipped to improve detection and save travelers time. The images can be viewed and rotated 360 degrees on three axes, allowing a very thorough visual analysis.
This provides TSA officers with three-dimensional views of what's inside a bag.The imaging system is designed to prevent incidents from happening. Recently, a New Jersey man was caught with a loaded gun inside his book bag at Newark Liberty International airport last week, according to authorities. Luckily, a TSA officer discovered the .45 caliber handgun in the bag as it passed through an x-ray machine at a Terminal A security checkpoint.
