The TSA might be one of the most stressful parts of traveling. It seems that there are always new rules being added or changed, and it can be hard to keep up with it all.

A new TSA has arrived, and it might be impacting what you can carry on when you travel.
According to the TSA, new Transportation Security Administration scanners can impact which carry-ons you can bring through security. TSA is installing new computed tomography (CT) checkpoint X-ray machines to enhance the screening capabilities of carry-on items brought in. The machines use technology similar to CT technology in the medical field.

Currently, the scanners use 2-D images, but the new CT technology can create 3-D images that can be viewed and rotated 360 degrees. It creates a clearer image of the items inside the bag, and the system can automatically scan to detect explosives and other items more easily than the current scanners. The new image will let TSA get a better view of the bag’s contents, which will hopefully reduce the number of bags that need to be pulled and manually inspected. This will make everything more efficient for TSA agents and travelers!

The machines also let passengers leave their laptops and other electronic devices in their carry-on bags. They also wouldn’t need to remove their travel-size liquids. The new scanners will require all carry-on items to be in a bin and cannot be placed on a belt.

What’s the big deal with this? Well, the CT scanners have a smaller entry tunnel, which means larger carry-on bags will not fit in the scanners. TSA is currently recommending that the larger bags be checked. A spokesperson for TSA said that the new design is necessary to fit the advanced technology inside and said: “TSA officers are available to assist travelers with larger items or special needs to help ensure a smooth screening process.” Nearly 300 airports already have this new technology.

TSA is planning on replacing all of the current scanners over the next few years as funding allows. Make sure to keep following Disney Food Blog for more travel news before your next trip.
