TSA to deploy improved airport scanners

The Transportation Security Administration is investing up to $781.2 million in new scanning equipment that should speed passengers through checkpoints more quickly. The scanners, the first of which are to be deployed this summer, “provide our dedicated frontline officers with one of the best tools available to screen passenger carry-on items and also improves the passenger experience by allowing passengers to keep more items in their carry-on bags during the screening process,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said.
