Denver International Airport using new security screening technology
DENVER CO December 20 2018
Denver International Airport is using a new type of security screening.
The Transportation Security Administration at Denver International Airport recied new equipment and is now using a new technology that allows travelers to keep their hands at their side when screened at security checkpoints.
The new scanner uses the same basic process as the old ones. But TSA federal security director Larry Nau says what might seem like a nominal change — keeping your hands at your side as opposed to raising them in the air — can save a lot of time.
CEO Kim Day says the Denver airport is the first in the country to pilot the technology.

TSA in September introduced automated screening lanes at the airport aimed at speeding up the pace of bins carrying passenger items through screening.
The goal is to have the new technology in place when the airport’s $1.8 billion Great Hall renovation is completed.
