TSA and American Airlines join forces to test new security technology. The two are installing new screening technology, automated security screening lanes and computed tomography scanners at select American Airlines hubs starting in the fall. The changes enhance security while decreasing traveler wait times by as much as 30 percent. The changes are scheduled for Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX) and Miami (MIA). Computed tomography technology will also appear in Phoenix (PHX). “Our foremost priority is the security of the traveling public. To ensure that we remain up-to-date in an evolving threat environment, TSA continues to test and deploy state-of-the-art technologies. This collaboration with American Airlines is an important step in enhancing the traveler experience while maintaining effective security,” said Peter V. Neffenger, administrator, TSA. “These state-of-the-art lanes, along with new detection technology that will be tested in Phoenix, will enhance security effectiveness and efficiency, while improving the customer experience,” said Robert Isom, COO, American Airlines. Innovations include automated bin belts, a separate area for bags marked a potential threat, bins 25 percent larger and cameras to photograph the outside of all bags.
