TSA Moving The Older Technology To Terminals That See Fewer Passengers
The old-style X-ray scanners at major U.S. airports like LAX, New York's Kennedy, Chicago's O'Hare, and Orlando International are being quietly replaced with the newer backscatter scanners, according to TSA. The agency says it is doing so to speed up the screening process in heavily-used terminals, and that the older machines are being re-deployed to smaller airports.
