TSA is taking a closer look at LAX passengers’ electronic devices
Passengers go through security at Terminal 4 at Los Angeles International Airport. The Transportation Security Administration has been quietly testing a new screening procedure that more closely examines electronic devices in carry-on bags at LAX and nine other airports. Under the test screening process, passengers passing through TSA security checkpoints are asked to take out electronic devices larger than a cellphone from carry-on bags and place the devices in a separate bin for X-ray screening. TSA officials say the new procedure is not connected to the restrictions the agency imposed in March forbidding passengers from bringing electronic devices such as laptops into airplane cabins for flights from eight Middle Eastern and African countries. “As part of our counterterrorism efforts, TSA continuously enhances and adjusts security screening procedures to stay ahead of evolving threats,” said Darby LaJoye, TSA assistant administrator for security operations.
