TSA Pilots Self-Service Airport Security Screening in Las Vegas

The new system, set to launch in January, aims to increase efficiency and reduce wait times by allowing passengers to scan their own IDs and luggage.

TSA is launching a pilot program for self-service airport security screening at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, starting in January.
The new system will allow passengers to scan their own IDs and carry-on luggage, potentially reducing overall wait times and the need for manual bag checks and pat-downs.
The pilot program is open to members of TSA PreCheck and other 'Trusted Traveler' programs, with the aim of making the security process more efficient.
Three different self-service design prototypes are being tested, with the first to be implemented developed by logistics company Vanderlande.
Concerns have been raised about the learning curve for passengers unfamiliar with the new technology, and the high cost of implementing advanced screening technologies.
