Newsstand - TSA agrees to fund 75% of DEN new automated bag screening system

This waste of money sounds very similar to the recently announced LAX/ONT deal.

Oh great, a new "state of the art" baggage system. We all know what that means. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

Didn't they install one of those things when they built that airport? How did that work out for them?

Actually using the word "denver" and "state-of-the-art automated inline baggage- screening system" in the same sentence is enuff to make me wince... I thought they said hindsight is 20-20... guess that doesnt hold true with govmt appropriations... another 71 million down the tube... where is my link to the national debt clock (http://www.toptips.com/debtclock.html) ... oh there it is!!!
