The Transportation Security Administration has debuted a prototype for a
self-service airport security checkpoint where no human interaction is needed at
the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
Dubbed the Innovation Checkpoint, the new tech — which allows passengers to go
through security with the help of step-by-step instructional videos rather than
a TSA agent — will be available to all TSA PreCheck passengers traveling through
Las Vegas’ international airport in mid-March.
Aside from the lack of human interaction, everything else will remain the same
about the security screening process, according to press release issued
Wednesday by the TSA and Department of Homeland Security’s Science and
Technology Directorate, which collaborated to launch the Innovation Checkpoint.

Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport. AP
Travelers will still have to put their bag through a scanner, empty their
pockets and step into a scanner themselves.
After passengers complete “the required screening process and are cleared for
travel, automated exit doors open so travelers can gather their belongings and
head to their flights.”
TSA Administrator David Pekoske touted that “this self-service prototype allows
our trusted travelers to complete the screening process at their own pace.”

“While there is minimal assistance from Transportation Security Officers (TSO),
TSOs will be available for assistance as needed,” the government agency’s said
in the release, assuring that “the same rigorous screening standards and rules
required of passengers using the TSA PreCheck lanes apply to the self-screening
lane.”
It’s unclear when the Innovation Checkpoint will be rolled out to all passengers
passing through Harry Reid International Airport.

The TSA and DHS S&T said in the release that they “will carefully study the
results of this assessment before they announce a timeline for any future
deployment of this prototype to other checkpoint lanes or at other airports.”
The tech is intended to help TSA agents handle passenger traffic, which has
surged in recent months — especially in Las Vegas.
“The number of airline passengers continues to increase year-over-year, creating
a need for innovative screening solutions that enhance transportation security
and make traveling more efficient,” said Dimitri Kusnezov, Department of
Homeland Security under secretary for science and technology.

There will be less interaction with TSA agents with the introduction of the
Innovation Checkpoint, but they will remain on hand if assistance is needed. AP
In late October, TSA agents had its busiest day ever at Sin City’s Tier 1
airport, located less than 5 miles off The Strip, when they screened 103,400
passengers, according to CNN, citing TSA figures.
For reference, the figure is higher than in November, when thousands of
travelers also flocked to the metro for the Formula 1 race.
Across the US, TSA has screened 143 million people at its checkpoints so far
this year — a typically slow two months for air travel in the US.

The figure is up 8 million, or 6%, from the same period last year, CNN reported.

During the six-week holiday travel period from Thanksgiving through the end of
2023, TSA agents screened 106 million travelers, up 10% from a year earlier —
and a 2% increase from the same time in 2019, ahead of the pandemic, per CNN.
