A self-service TSA screening model may be making its way to an airport near you. The programs are meant to expedite screening while improving safety, the DHS said in a press release. AdvertisementAs officials at the Transportation Security Administration grapple with air travel resuming at pre-pandemic levels, the Department of Homeland Security is testing out self-service screening options. "Like self-ordering kiosks at fast food and sit-down restaurants, self-service screening allows passengers in the Trusted Traveler Program to complete the security screening process on their own," John Fortune, the program's manager, said in the press release.
