DETROIT – Officials are planning to test tighter screening of carry-on bags at 10 airports across the United States, including Detroit Metro Airport.
Airport visitors will have to separate electronic devices larger than a cellphone and other select items into a bin for screening.
TSA officials believe the increased screening could help officers identify problems by separating devices such as tablets and e-readers.
TSA officers said they don't believe this will create a slower process for travelers going through security screening. They said they're testing quicker procedures at the select airports.
Here are the airports included in the screening test:
- Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW)
- Boise Airport (BOI)
- Colorado Springs Airport (COS)
- Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
- Logan International Airport (BOS)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (LBB)
- Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU)
- McCarran International Airport (LAS)
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)
