Hey, it’s getting easier to get through airport security
USA Today has news on the latest from the TSA and the airport security process in the article New scanners help ease carry-on hassles:
The hassle of removing laptops from cases and of taking shampoo, toothpaste and liquids out of carry-on bags is ending for some travelers at a handful of airports that are testing the latest screening device.
At Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International and Manchester-Boston Regional in New Hampshire, scanners have started using high-resolution X-ray machines that produce three-dimensional images of carry-on bags and automatically highlight suspected weapons.
Of course, a few of these items — especially of the travel size — weren’t that hard to pass through security anyway. But heck, if these new machines will keep more bombs off airplanes, well, we’re all winners.
