Look forward to travel once the new scanners are used in every airport in NA.

Last month, I had carry-on luggage scanned by CT scanners at both LAX and MIA.

There has been quite a bit of progress since 2017; this article is from March of this year:

TSA hopes to install 938 scanners — using computed tomography technology — at most major U.S. airports over the next few years. The first 38 scanners will be installed by this summer, just in time for the busy travel season.

The TSA began testing CT scanners in 2018 at airports across the country, including Los Angeles International Airport, Oakland International, San Diego International, Nevada’s Harry Reid International (formerly McCarran) and Chicago O’Hare. LAX now has six CT scanners in use throughout the airport.
