| "Checkpoints of the Future" |
The photo is a prototype for a "checkpoint of the future," as designated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Tailored to the needs of a broad range of travelers, the screening system splits passengers into three different tunnels.
Those who have passed government background checks head speedily through the "known traveller" lane. Those deemed an elevated risk walk through an "enhanced" tunnel where they might receive a full body scan. Everyone else goes through the normal channel, where their luggage is scanned, but where they should not have to remove any clothing or unpack any belongings.
Wonder when these will be in place and what the implications will be for business travelers/those who know the ropes?
