What I read (and shouldn't have been surprised): the manufacturer says these can be used to clear LGAs and laptops without removal but it is expected that TSA will continue to insist that non-Pre pax remove all LGAs and laptops even after the new machines are installed.
So in addition to allegedly better screening, they will be used as tools of extortion.

If TSA is not going to allow ALL passengers to keep liquids, etc. in their bags during screening, I certainly hope they do NOT buy these machines to use at regular checkpoints.

ETA this tweet from Robert McLean:


Brace yourselves for another potential [MENTION=19915]TSA[/MENTION] boondoggle���� while cheap 2ndary barriers go MIA. Who stands to profit? https://www.tsa.gov/news/releases/20...n-two-airports …
