Airport Security Future: No More Touchie-Feelie? Print


According to a recent USA Today article, an advanced security system will take over at airports within the next decade.

Instead of passengers required to be body-searched by human TSA agents, remove clothing and endure other current inconveniences, they’ll just need to walk through an electronic corridor. Super-sensitive scanners will make all the necessary observations as they pass.

Along with allowing passenger boarding comfort, the state-of-the-art system is expected to be much more efficient than the current manual one. It will be better capable of detecting illegal, as well as potentially dangerous, items hidden on passenger bodies, clothing and carry-ons.
