TSA tests AI application for baggage screening

The Transportation Security Administration is testing a screening system that uses artificial intelligence and pattern analysis to improve screening of carry-on baggage. “As TSA and other security agencies adopt 3D Computed Tomography, this application of AI represents a potentially transformative leap in aviation security, making air travel safer and more consistent, while allowing TSA’s highly trained officers to focus on bags that pose the greatest risk,” said Alexis Long, product director at Pangiam, which developed the technology.
