In order to expedite the screening process for passengers passing through security at busy airports, United Airlines has announced plans to team up with the Transportation Security Administration and introduce automated security screening lanes to several of its busiest hub airports, starting with Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in fall of this year.
