TSA to tighten screening of electronics at Detroit Metro Airport

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)
