New Passenger
Imaging Security Being Tested
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has
contracted to begin testing millimeter wave imaging machines, as well as
additional backscatter machines, at airport security checkpoints in
Phoenix, Los Angeles and New York-JFK in the coming months.
These passenger imaging technologies enable TSA to screen passengers for
prohibited items on their person quickly, unobtrusively and without
physical contact, detecting weapons, explosives and other metallic and
non-metallic threat items concealed under layers of clothing.
"Exploring new technologies is critical to enhancing security at all
points in the process," says TSA Administrator Kip Hawley.
