TSA is rolling out a new scanner - and it could mean a headache for carry-on travelers
The Independent • • business
Key Points:
- The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is introducing advanced CT scanners with smaller openings to improve pre-flight security screening efficiency.
- Due to the smaller scanner openings, some larger carry-on bags that exceed airline size limits may not fit and could require travelers to check them instead.
- The new scanners offer enhanced capabilities, including 3-D imaging that allows TSA officers to inspect bags without opening them, reducing manual bag checks.
- Travelers are advised to comply with airline carry-on size restrictions to avoid delays or the need to check oversized bags.
- The TSA assures that officers will assist passengers with larger items or special needs to facilitate a smooth screening process.
