Reporter a remote agent now greets passengers at the tsas innovation checkpoint at las vegas international. A real agent, a real person. Right.

Reporter the agency wants to make the process more do it yourself. Something where people have a little more selfpacing and control of how they move through the airport. Good morning. Reporter passengers get instructions on screen, walk into a secure scanner while an automatic conveyor directs bags for rescreen organize a hand search. The idea is its supposed to be like a regular tsa checkpoint, except fewer agents and hopefully streamlined. Now we go into the body scanner here. Its a little different. Overall its pretty simple. There is my bag, waiting for me. But for some, the machine was very sensitive. I see. The hair clip. The hair clip, oh my god, are you serious . Normally i wouldnt have a hiccup, but i also dont like getting scanned four or five times. Others seemed to breeze right now. I see no problem. Reporter the tsa says it wont sacrifice security for speed. Last year agents confiscated a record of more than 6700 records nationwide. Is this as secure as a regular tsa checkpoint . Yes, it is. We do independent test and evaluation against the kinds of threats and things that pose risks to air travel. Reporter the agency admits the new system is a learning process for passengers and agents. The bottom line is all the technology we put in place is much better for security. Reporter now passengers will be able to use a new selfservice checkpoint in las vegas beginning next week, but the entire system wont appear in other airports any time soon. Once testing is complete, the best elements of the system will be integrated into current checkpoints. Norah . All right. I love you brought us this story. Carter evans, thank you so much.
