The Future of Airport Security: Self-Service Screening

✨The TSA is testing a self-service security check at airports, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce contact.

👥Passengers can use a video call to interact with a TSA agent for assistance during the self-service screening.

📱The self-service screening involves using sensors and scanners to ensure the safety of passengers.

💼Passengers still need to follow the usual security rules and put their belongings through the scanner.

🌐The self-service screening is currently being tested in Las Vegas and is not yet available at other airports.
