TSA to debut new baggage scanners

The TSA is launching new technology that could change the way bags are scanned at airports across the country. The goal is to replace aging X-ray scanners with new 3D carry-on bag scanners that use the same technology as cat scans. Kris van cleave reports.

My left ear enjoyed this video

[@mavericks2048]

My left nose enjoyed

[@markofexcellence5209]

My right ear was left to starve.

[@tacubaeulalio]

I thought something had happened to my headphones . I was nervous.

[@nathantran4870]

I thought my headphones were broken til I saw this

[@tkhannibal2476]

Thought I was the only one haha

[@abecoulter18]

Still not going to change the behaviour of the TSA agent

[@cleonemcalpin1188]

It still won’t change the behavior of the passenger acting like an entitled idiot

[@hiphopisart6165]

Cleone Mcalipin The behavior of TSA agents should be above those of passengers, that should go without saying

[@elkameleong]

It sure won’t. Plus they have immunity from being sued now

[@lukaslatner5348]

Cleone Mcalpin TSA agents are complete dicks

[@TheMendo123]

HipHopisart honestly anytime you're dealing with people in a law enforcement or security capacity you can expect to receive the same attitude you give. It's not the same as when you're ordering at burger king

[@howlbigbadwolf]

The glowing blue LED lights was a nice Touch. Very Future looking.

[@howlbigbadwolf]

Alex Hein yes that would have been a better word to use instead of future looking, "futuristic"

[@BelieveLand-jk5nq]

That Guy... at least we know the plant light is working.

[@krollpeter]

The needless blue light is the symbol for all the TSA. Marketing burb.

[@techblogger8323]

It looks like a fusion reactor or something 😂

[@eastondana3069]

It acts as a blacklight, the blue wave length makes it easier to scam bags.

[@Alex-xg8py]

RIP Right ear

[@hunterxcraft8328]

Wow i cant wait for the security checkpoints to take roughly a thoudand times longer as theybhave to spin around each individual bag

[@zanderhamilton7908]

Yeah, maybe when they get the technology going, they could have some sort of system that scans the picture for any suspicious items and alerts the TSA officer.

[@jamessiggss8061]

2:32

[@chownful]

Maybe they can get rid of TSA and the entire DHS too.

[@zanderhamilton7908]

root I don't think they should get rid of it completely, but maybe actually train the agents better and change some policies so the system actually works without being obnoxious.

[@greenthizzle4]

Kasterborous if the "terrorists" hated our "freedom"(Most locked up nation on earth with more laws then any nation) then they are winning..

[@tokyocity277]

TSA agents are the grouchiest people I have every met

[@tokyocity277]

Alex Hein I just flew out of Newark. I think it's the same

[@tokyocity277]

Alex Hein I guess so. Couldn't help to brighten up a litte

[@Npf2002]

Tokyo City Imagine what life is like for them. Waking up early, not getting paid very much, doing a boring job, working with annoying people who don’t know how security works. It’s not great. If you were in their position, you would be grouchy too, if not worse.

[@tokyocity277]

Nick Faricy well if I were them I would quit my job. They chose to be were they are and they knew what they would be getting in to. Still they don't have to treat people like crap when we ask a simple question or yell at us to move. If you support them you are just as bad.

[@tokyocity277]

volcano hi I am even in Hawaii they have no aloha

[@jaridkeen123]

Breaking News: TSA is still a Waste of Tax Payers money More then Ever and still never stopped a terrorist attack

[@erikb2301]

Jarid Gaming true

[@richmarcus161]

You sound really stupid

[@richmarcus161]

Imagine if theye weren't there

[@soccerbeast2946]

Wtf are you even saying? If they weren’t there people would be able to walk on the plane with a bomb. This has to be the stupidest comment I have ever seen on KZbin!😂

[@jaridkeen123]

Rich Marcus The FBI did a Study where the TSA never stopped a Terrorist attack and they missed 95% of Weapons. Do your Research look it up yourself (How Effective is the TSA really) You will be shocked and mad

[@Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

Why though. There has yet to be a terrorist attack with bags. We have underwear, shoe, etc. This is just a waste of money.

[@enlightenedperson7934]

OhMyGulay it's all for the illusion of safety

[@MrSalty-ks5pb]

I’d prefer more leg room on planes, than some flashy bag scanner.

[@gfbtfbtfilyfxbtyewqqef]

Now the queue's gonna take 2 hours instead of 1!

[@tdadp]

It would be nice if I can keep my drink I just purchase out side the cheek point

[@gtgondalwala]

Sami Amor they don't let full bottles thru security

[@tdadp]

Garrett Gondalwala it’s Annoying you have Starbucks just before the checkpoint the line can be 40 minutes long or 5 minutes you never know sometimes you just don’t finish your drink in an of time and it’s a waste of money

[@rad636]

Tony DNY there’s Starbucks inside the checkpoint dork.

[@tdadp]

Wings of Redemption I know that but it’s still a pain ..

[@tdadp]

Sami Amor thank you for your service it’s a thank less job .. their are some awesome agents and not so desirable agents..

[@DanielRomero]

If someone wants to get an explosive device past the TSA then they will get past it. All these measures are more to give people flying a sense of security.

[@JustinLieber]

My right ear is sad

[@zanderhamilton7908]

It's ok, I'm here for you.

[@ultrakwon]

Are they gonna body scan us like this too?

[@rad636]

Are you ducking serious?

[@JonathanRinny]

they gave it a jet engine look very nice

[@evanscott7652]

Oooh, maybe this machine will be able to save us from even more of those evil shampoo bottles......

[@277408]

FlipFlop FishFlake look up bojinka plot

[@dustine7041]

So if you made a box made out of laptops you could hide stuff still lol

[@iaisosoakoaozoso5453]

Just1otherfree spirit they get scanned 2

[@LeaRNing2b1]

Exactly, this was educational...for TERRORISTS...like the news & documentaries ALWAYS ARE

[@brianrock209]

Audio is left only.

[@Otter-Destruction]

Can i keep my shoe on though?

[@artemiosandoval2032]

Just the one shoe, yes.

[@Aleks6010]

only one shoe at a time though, take off one shoe, put it back on, take off the other shoe

[@MAC-vc6yl]

yes, spending more money on a useless government agency that misses 98% of the things smuggled into the airport

[@charlesschirripa]

haw often is a bomb found or detonated in a carry on bag. This is nothing more than harrassment and a infringement on my right to privacy.

[@denziiey]

Are we gonna pay for through raised airport tax? What else ya'll wanna scan?

[@CatCat-tv5kz]

Brain is next.

[@denziiey]

@@CatCat-tv5kz lol I'd never be allowed to pass i always have negative thoughts 😅😅

[@jacobmuirhead7786]

We are still letting the TSA buy things?

[@min_kgzy]

I love the machine but since 3d and the agents have to circle it, I think more lines are long enough though IT DOES SPEED UP THE LINE. :)

[@user-se4tn9cq9m]

DARN! Now I'll need to put more lead shields in my luggage!

[@declinerrexlete197]

Surprised one of the most major airports globally, ATL, is not getting any.

[@lb20009896]

Yeah have these for LAX, ELP, PHX, ATL, etc.

[@ashevilletrainman6989]

This is gonna slow down security probably because you need to analyze it better

[@devenlooney]

Imagine all of the ‘stuff’ that is exposed by these machines lmao.

[@elitedude4089]

My left ear is loving this

[@TJIzzy]

TSA low key cut part of my sweats pocket, I put my phone in it not knowing and it fell out on the street where a car ran it over. Thanks TSA troll, whoever you are.

[@Specterkc]

"We can't admit that this is all security theater and doesn't make you safer, so here is a new shiny machine that makes you feel safer" Forget the calls to abolish ICE or the ATF, can we all agree to abolish the TSA?

[@udaysampath009]

For a second I thought that my earphones were gone 😂

[@KevinJohnson-ov8bb]

Real excited to "buy the machines" and embezzle the money. What a waste

[@portcybertryx222]

Nice transformational tech. Recently used it in ATL speeds up the lines quite a bit.

[@a_literal_brick]

I like how it even looks like a jet engine

[@janeavila8674]

I wonder if this will affect the cost of flight

[@marckuo5416]

so those with TSA precheck will be paying for nothing

[@blasa8169]

Thanks for making me think my headphone is broken

[@rkesler1]

Except...the agents aren't going to spend that much more time rotating all the bags and inspecting them from every angle.

[@smithjacobb777]

they have never caught someone who had a legit bomb lmfao

[@SteveRelentless]

Fun fact, they arent looking for Explosives.

[@standardcake18]

We can make new baggage scanners.. but still have problems playing audio through both headphones 🎧🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

[@nikushim6665]

TSA has a track record of not really preventing anything. This extraordinarily expensive scanner wont change that. Its also not gonna stop the TSA agents from stealing crap from your luggage either.

[@philmeisterify]

Looks like a futuristic ultra sound machine.

[@petecheng1]

5 years? come on.

[@juliancollot7579]

will this effect my ability to smuggle my dab pen on to a plane?

[@lucascainphotography5755]

I just fly in 2 days ago to Florida and I saw one of those at BWI

[@justinspitler656]

Okay so the first thing I noticed was the name of the x Ray

[@anh4139]

2:07 oh I live in la , lax has those already just a heads ip

[@bhesse9012]

What about radioactive scatter from the CTs X-ray tube? Is the shell lead lined? How often are these going to be PM’d. With constant use the image quality has to be checked quarterly.

[@Sula_Mareska]

But can it see through an iPhone? No. Which means I will likely continued to be pulled over to make sure that my iPhone 4 is not an explosive.

[@Olivia-W]

Sula Mareska Sigh. All electronics separate. I'm aware how ffing annoying this is. I usually carry a laptop, a tablet, a phone, chargers, power banks, a mouse, headphones, several USB sticks and memory cards... and all of that goes out.

[@jamesbizs]

Sula Mareska well, if I saw someone with an iPhone 4, I’d be suspicious as well.

[@taylorgray3950]

Doesn’t work really the TSA workers don’t even always check the screen but having them to rotate it is just not gonna worl

[@Nuclearnadalah]

At schipol airport you can leave everything in your bag, and keep items in your pocket

[@AT-qd2cv]

Will it find weed easier? Asking for a law abiding friend.

[@magnumxlpi]

amanda T if you're trying to bring flowers, you deserve to be caught. Concentrates are easy to get through with

[@magnumxlpi]

Matheus M haha yep. They don't care about them. Also flew with distillate syringes before. I just put them with my vape and e liquids

[@chownful]

lol distillate syringe is sketchy af...would have just transferred to something else

[@magnumxlpi]

root nah it was the same color as one of my e liquids, so if they asked I was going to say it makes filling the vape easier so you dont get it all over your hands 😉

[@AT-qd2cv]

I’ve only ever traveled with edibles, I’m way too paranoid to bring flower to the airport

[@GrandTheftLogan]

1:42 Glad to see Mr. Data is alive and well.

[@azthetical2980]

So it looks cool and freaks out people who wanna try to sneak things through. Ok, hopefully this isn’t another thing just for looks and maybe 5% actual function.

[@magamulleraintgoingawaylol4694]

Technology can be fooled it’s happened before

[@shabbyLaw]

I'm traumatized by this machine already having flown yesterday and it had SO MANY malfunctions 😩.

[@rad636]

JustS no it didn’t. Stop lying

[@force528]

JustS It's fine. All these machines are pointless and contribute to security theater.

[@Waywinds]

Your brain probably had a malfunction, luls

[@tayirnull1567]

What’s the impression with this new machine?

[@cafeta]

millions of dollars worth of technologies an then give it to an underpay frustrated TSA employee!

[@Tony-nl6pf]

So it will take longer to move around and search for stuff. Cool.

[@Olivia-W]

Oh, _great._ Longer lines. Huzzah. I don't know about you, but I could see the knife in about half a second :/.

[@Iwrestledabeard17]

I’ve brought firecrackers in my carry on without knowing and all they did was swab my hands and let me go and they didnt even know.

[@born2ryde1990]

Now they can find things they want to steal without getting accused of profiling.

[@nx8725]

Wow, thanks for playing all of the audio in my left ear. I'm profoundly deaf and can not hear whatsoever in my left ear.

[@legoman19931]

That number is quite a bit low. There's over 5000 public use airports in the US. Where did they get the 2000 scanners from?

[@aerohk]

This is considered revolutionary? Use AI and machine learning to detect weapons and explosives.

[@WyvernApalis]

AI uses patterns and only detect things that we know about. If the terrorist is good enough they can evade that pattern or create something new that AI does not recognise. Humans see suspicious things and they will do a manual check

[@chownful]

Wyvern Apalis - That's not true AI, though. If it's only detecting based on known samples then that's more just like a signature based script - but even something like that would be much more efficient. Also, remember the TSA has never stopped any terrorist attack that was using explosives.

[@TheLuckyShepherd]

A.I machine learning technology would just check Muslims. Not good for P.R. Lol

[@Aleks6010]

machine learning requires a lot of training from samples where the answer is known and it trains the algorithm to say the correct answer. it would not be possible to use machine learning for this because there is not enough data points for machine learning to be accurately trained

[@eyeborg3148]

AI can probably do a decent job. Unfortunately Machine learning will never be used since liberals will complain about it “profiling” people.

[@williamrobertson797]

My left ear had a great time

[@Orthodoge]

As a TSA agent we’ve been talking about this and we’re excited too

[@jrcook333]

They need to scan the video audio before they upload it🙉

[@Nathan_2120]

I bet the TSA agents won't even use this technology

[@gangmeow]

Stereo sound? Cbs do you know what audio is???

[@maxcovfefe]

Can't we just get one big enough for people to walk through and avoid being touched?

[@TheIldado]

Could they possibly make a machine to check whether bringing a drink is safe or not. I'm tired of buying a drink from the store their and getting it taken away by TSA.

[@Metalprophet]

So buy it after you get through security ? The liquid rule has been in effect for like 11 years already. And they do have a machine to check whether a drink is safe or not

[@Followerofchrist2091]

I saw these at Dulles international they were makin them at the time

[@colinshirley3716]

I saw these in fort lauderdale being moved in with a bunch of plastic on the m and was wondering what they were

[@mattmaceo]

Typo detected: The airport code for Santa Ana, CA (John Wayne Airport) is “SNA”

[@dianefitzpatrick7774]

Is there any danger of radiation exposure because to see more you have to use more?? What about standing by it all day?? Just wondering...

[@Borderlands808]

Diane Fitzpatrick only a 95% chance to get radiation/cancer.

[@snitox]

Why is there even human screeners? There should be AI finding sharp edges, firing mechanisms, chemical compound make ups, etc.

[@IdLikeToSpeakToMyLawyer]

WE'RE *TWENTY ONE T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N DOLLARS* IN DEBT!

[@bccmac14]

Does that mean the person checking has to rotate the each scan going through, or have six people checking at once for each of the six sides lol?

[@healthhavencom]

Abolish the TSA. Yesterday.

[@omega6680]

These free snacks are the bomb! HEY GET OUT OF THE AIRPORT

[@JacobHollis96]

The new baggage scanner uses the same technology as a ct scan. Why haven't we been using this before?

[@AwesomeShotStudios]

What's with the audio mix CBS? Ever heard of left and right channels?

[@shapeman1000]

Why is there only audio in the left ear?

[@MilesBellas]

next it will travelling naked and luggage sent separately?

[@JoseTheRover]

Video is panned left...

[@jessicaanderson4431]

keep practising/ practicing

[@jacobmuirhead7786]

The should buy something that brings the buckets back to the front.. ya know, like a good employee or something.

[@Metalprophet]

Jacob Muirhead Some airports do have X-ray machines that bring the buckets back to the front.

[@alexthompson8434]

Cool tech!

[@tomessmith911]

When has there ever been explosives on a plane can't think of a single example so what are they really looking for??

[@artofwarandpeace9126]

Tomes Smith they are looking for another MLK to show themselves and thus be killed as Jesus were.

[@phrozen9640]

My left ear...

[@Devilation]

My right ear feels alone :(

[@DopedFiend]

My left ear is having a blast. ;)

[@bestamerica]

' wow that is great and good safety fly

[@ChunkySalsa_BSU]

1:57 - Is that what I think it is?

[@nonfunctionalslackfill]

right ear just got blue balled

[@felipe69420]

You realize that the TSA fails most tests right?

[@Waywinds]

You do realize that most tests are designed to be failed and are undetectable with current technologies yes? Even so, I've read all the reports from the OIG.. they say 80% failed but its like they tested 5 different airports and 1 airport succeeded catching something that isn't detectable. The words and numbers are misleading.

[@saucinoname6012]

I think my left ear had more fun than the right
