What I don't understand is why AA would be buying this equipment. Wouldn't it be the airports or whatever entity runs the airports?

Or would it be TSA or some other agency charged with airport security?
Aren't the airlines the ones that hire the people who ask the security questions and put a sticker on your passport? (where was your luggage, who packed it, ...)

So maybe the airlines now have to do the same "interrogation" for bags, in addition to the airport-native screening?
