Imagine this: You make your way through the airport security line, send your bags through the scanner, empty your pockets and go through a body scanner — all with little to no interaction with a TSA agent.
Airport security that resembles a self-checkout lane in a grocery store could be a reality in the not-too-distant future. It depends on the results of the Transportation Security Administration’s six-month trial run of self-serve security screening pods.
The TSA, collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate, just launched a self-service security screening system on a trial basis at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
