In a pilot program, PreCheck screened passengers at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas can opt to use a self-screening lane which officials compared to a self-checkout line at a supermarket, the Washington Post reports. It’s an addition effort by the Department of Transportation to speed travel through airports.
The program is geared to frequent travelers who know what needs to be screened through x-ray and other scanners and who can manage their own processes with little interaction with TSA agents. TSA agents will still screen identification and other documents at the start of the process, and if the passenger is selected for a random screening, they can still be pulled from the line.
