Now they need to scan the tsa workers when leave at the end of the day.

[WarrenAAndrews]

They just stand there and don’t open up all the lines

The Netherlands has had this for over 9 years now. C’mon NY! Catch up with times…

[nicmac]

Atlanta has had this for the past two year, catch up NYC..

[taxthechurches]

Just one question.. Will these prevent TSA workers from stealing your stuff?

[creeperbomb]

DTW had this 10 years ago. The problem is they never open enough lanes. ATL has 20 lanes yet they only had 6 open on Thanksgiving bruh.

[JK-bxfg]

Technology was never the problem with the tsa.

[klove]

They need a scanner for your shoes so you don't have to take them off

[glowplug]

How about better screening of TSA agents??

[terribrad]

Great, now they can go from 3 open lines on 18 possible ones, down to only 1 open line.

[._pi]

LOL 😂 . Been into existence since 2021 .. oh and it’s slower than the OG scanners

[richwightman]

TSA is a disgusting waste of tax money.

[marqueishasparkle]

Oakland International has had these for years 💅🏽💅🏽

I'm not sure I would trust my laptop going through a CT scanner. Xrays DO damage electrical components as any ionizing radiation does. And CT scanners put put a lot more x-rays than a standard x-ray machine would.

[mrots]

Thank god they can still police over-size liquids so that we have to buy our drinks after security at the airport.

I feel so much safer knowing that the TSA helps airport profits 🙌

[michaeladams]

Atlanta has had this for years it does speed things up

[LtFoodstamp]

Pretty soon, they will rote the screening agents by adding AI to this. They will be able to analyse every object in your bag and keep a perfect digital record of every single thing you travel with.

[VoidHalo]

I swear they just hollowed out some old jet engines and put a conveyor belt through them. Placebo effect is strong.

[Triple]

Illegals don't have to worry about this!!!!

[Connor-Colyer]

Yall just have to fix international customs
