TSA Unveils a New Security Screening Prototype

It has been installed in Harry Reid Airport in Las Vegas

An experimental self-service screening system for airport security checkpoints is being unveiled for testing starting this month, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced on Wednesday in a press release.

TSA PreCheck passengers at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas — which has the one and only "Innovation Checkpoint" — will be the first to have the option to use the new system, which has been compared to the self-checkout at a grocery store.

"The prototype has a video monitor that provides step-by-step instructions for passengers to complete screening at their own pace," according to the release.
