I have noticed that in Indian airports passengers are given a numbered token and a duplicate placed in the bin with the laptop before it passes through the x-ray machine. After passing through the security scan the passenger has to present the token to the agents who will then match it with the one in the bin and only then hand it to him/her.
I can't understand why TSA won't follow such a simple scheme that greatly improves the incidents like OP's.
- giarc 10y agoI've seen videos of security screening lines hundreds of meters long at one of Chicago's airports, this process would only make them longer.
- pthreads 10y agoI am not sure about that. The long lines are due to more fundamental problems with the TSA in general. Shaving a few extra seconds for each passenger with a laptop is not going to solve the problem.
- giarc 10y agoYa I agree, I was just making a comment that implementing this token process would make things even worse
- josho 10y agoI recommend that you take a flight to LAX/MCO, then a day at Disney and compare TSA's procedures for getting folks through a line compared to Disney. The single best action that the TSA could take is to hire a Disney staffer to consult on how to move large numbers of people through a line as there is much to be improved on moving folks through TSA screenings at a quicker pace without lowering the quality of screenings.
