The TSA does not design the machines. The manufacturers develop and design the machines and submit them for certification. Originally the machines were tested at the FAA labs on the grounds of the Atlantic City Airport. They are not tested at a TSA facility on the grounds of DCA. It is not just a matter of TSA saying redevelop the machine. If the manufacturer has dumped the project then it is pretty much dead.
