Airport to Install New Screening Technology
From Times Wire Reports
Sacramento International Airport is getting a new anti-terrorism device called a “puffer” that will be used instead of wands or hand searches for some passengers. The machine blows air on a traveler and quickly sucks it back in, analyzing the sample for traces of explosives.
Chief Operating Officer Rob Leonard said the airport also wants to add a “known traveler” program to speed frequent fliers through security checkpoints.
For a fee, travelers would have their identification pre-checked so they could skip checkpoint lines.
