New CT Scanning Technology Might Soon Be Deployed At Airports Around US
The TSA, along with help from American Airlines, are now testing a new CT scanning technology at Sky Harbor International Airport in Pheonix.
In the perceived need for heightened security at airports, they've rolled out this new CT technology that is able to provide a 3D image of travel contents.
The CT scanner will be rotating around the conveyor belt and taking hundreds of images, using an X-ray camera.
They decided to roll out the technology at the Sky Harbor airport because it's said to be a major airport hub and it's a valuable partner of American Airlines.
The scanner is going to only be deployed at Terminal 4, only at one checkpoint lane. And this technology isn't really new for them, it's said that they already use it on checked baggage in order to survey contents and make sure there isn't anything coming that shouldn't be there.
If they really see success with this technology then it might not be long before it gets rolled out to other airports across the country as well.
It's believed that perhaps this technology might help to alter certain bans in place now on liquids, laptops, and more. If these scanners are better able to detect contraband then it's suggested that we could see an amendment to the current rules surrounding these products.
When it comes to detecting controversial objects that travelers try to bring with them, the TSA has failed miserably in the past to prevent threats from getting through their security. This is an organization that costs billions of dollars and they certainly cause a lot of trouble and leave many wondering why they don't seem more concerned with efficiency.
Airports around the country see hour-long lineups because of the overwhelming inefficiency that is displayed by this organization. Perhaps this new technology might do something to change that.
Airport security has turned many people off of traveling because they no longer want to deal with the hassle and be treated like a violent criminal when they simply want to go on a peaceful vacation with loved ones etc.
Past surveys have sought to analyze the feelings of travelers, with some suggesting that the majority of travelers don't mind the security process. Though, it's been found that travelers overwhelming don't enjoy taking off their shoes, following the confusing liquids ban, and there's plenty of discontent over the laptop ban.
If the TSA doesn't seek to improve their services, then perhaps more airports will seek to end their relationships with them and opt for private screening services. Interestingly, the Sky Phoenix Harbor International Airport has been one to previously criticize the TSA and blame them for delays around the nation and for causing tens of thousands of passengers to miss their flights.
