New scanners to make airline security faster?

New technology can drastically reduce airline security procedures. A lab in an industrial park outside Boston has developed a new generation scanner which is much faster than devices used previously. There are various new devices being introduced and these high-definition, three-dimensional CT scans of luggage may soon replace static X-ray images at airports as part of a wave of new technology designed to speed up security lanes while improving detection of weapons and explosives.

“I think if we can continue momentum the way we have for the past six months or the last year, we have a real opportunity to transform the system.” - Jill Vaughan (Chief technology officer at the U.S. Transportation Security Administration)
